I Promise You
Michael Bolton · Other Songs - Michael Bolton
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
Chorus:
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 I'll understand
Share all your hopes and dreams
Show you what love can mean
And whenever life just gets too much for you
I'll be by your side, to dry the tears you cry
Chorus
Oh, I will always be in your arms
And you will always be the flame
Within my heart
I'll love you forever, I promise you
We'll be together our whole life through
There's nothin' that I, I rather do
With all of my heart, I promise you
There's nothin' in this world I wouldn't do
I promise you
