This I Promise You
Darin · Idol 2004 [2004]
---
When the vision surround you
Bring tears your eyes
And all that surround you
Yeah secrets and lies
I'll be you strenght
I'll give you hope
Keeping you faith when it's gone
The one you should call
When you're standing there all alone
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right
Where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I'll love you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you ever be hurt
I give you my heart
I give you my soul
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
And loving feeling won't go away
Til' the day my life is thorugh
This I promise you
Oh I promise you
This I Promise You
