Lyrics

I see the ques tions in your eyes.

I know what’s weigh ing on your mind,

but you can be sure I know my part.

(G)’Cause I’ll

stand be side you through the years; you you’ll on ly cry those hap py tears.

’Cause And though I’ll make mis takes,

my (D)I’ll nev er break your heart.

I swear,

by the moon and the stars in the sky,

I’ll be there.

I swear,

like a shad ow that’s by your side,

I’ll be there.

For (Dm7)bet ter or worse,

till (Gsus)death do us part,

I’ll (Dm7)love you with ev er y beat of my heart, I swear.

I’ll give you ev ’ry thing I can.

I’ll build your dreams with these two hands,

and we’ll hang some mem ’ries on the wall.

(G)And when

stand there’s sil ver in your hair,

you won’t have to ask if I still care.

’Cause as time I’ll turns the page, my (D)love won’t er age at all.

I swear,

by the moon and the stars in the sky,

I’ll be there.

I swear,

like a shad ow that’s by your side,

I’ll be there.

For (Dm7)bet ter or worse, till (Gsus)death do us part, I’ll (Dm7)love you with ev er y beat of my heart, I swear.

I (F)swear.
