I don't think the mother in "Love You Forever" says anything like "I will always love you best of everything in the world, I will always make everything right." What she sings is "I'll love you forever I'll like you for always As long as I'm living My baby you'll be."
I've always seen the mother's climbing into her adult son's room to sing to him as just a metaphor. I often wish I could hold my now-21-year-old son in my arms and sing to him the song his dad and I made up when he was a baby: "What a wonderful, wonderful Ben-Ben . . ." I wouldn't do it, for his sake, but I wish I could, for mine.

I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be."
