Yes, I promise to
Love you for all my life
Love you every day and night
And I will always be there for you
I'll be in your arms and you'll be
In my heart

I'll love you forever, I promise you
We'll be together our whole life through
There's nothin' that I, I wouldn't do
With all of my heart I promise you
Oh yea I will take your hand

And whenever life just gets too much for you
I'll be by your side, to dry the tears you cry
