from here to eternity
An endless span
From here to eternity describes an immense or infinite duration—forever, or as long as can be imagined: I could wait from here to eternity and she still wouldn't apologize.
The phrase emphasizes endlessness, often with romantic or dramatic overtones.
It gained currency from James Jones's 1951 novel and subsequent film about soldiers in Hawaii before Pearl Harbor.
