Pledge of Love
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
I love you so
I can't let you go
I must make you see
You mean more to me
Than each beat of my heart
For I can't live without your love.
All of my life I have dreamed of love
A way I wanted it to be
But now that I found you my heart's so afraid
That somehow you won't care for me.
I love you so
I can't let you go
I must make you see
You mean more to me
Than each beat of my heart
For I can't live without your love.
--- Instrumental ---
I offer my love and the dream to fulfill
Pledge me your love in return
Just to say that you love me and you always will
The flame will forever burn.
I love you so
I can't let you go
I must make you see
You mean more to me
Than each beat of my heart
For I can't live without your love...
