Marry Me
Neil Diamond · Stages - Performances - 1970-2002 [2003]
Sometimes carry me.
And I will be there forever more for you.
And if you marry me,
I will give ev'ry thing.
And I will do anything that you need me to.
You'll know by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart I'll be there.
You'll know 'cause you'll never be lonely
Again, anytime, anywhere.
This I promise if you marry me.
Promise you'll stay with me.
We'll make some memories,
And maybe a dream or two will come true.
Who knows?
This I can say for sure:
All that I have is yours.
You'll never wonder where I stand; it shows.
You'll know by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart. I'll be there.
You'll know 'cause you'll never be lonely
Again, anytime, anywhere.
All I promise you I will be
If you'll only say you'll marry me.
I won't ever forget these words,
and I'll love you for all I'm worth
If you say you will marry me.
Won't you marry me?
Marry me.
