"I Promise You" lyrics

I Promise You

I promised you
The day you marry me
I'll be everything to you
That I should be

And while you're in the springtime
Of your years
You'll not know what it's like
To shed a tear

I'll be the same
Through all
That we go through
I promise you
I promise you

I promise you
For richer or for poorer
I'll more than share
Each pain that you endure

And when you're in the autumn
Of your years
You'll call me in the night
And I'll be near

I love you
And I'll let you know I do
I promise you
I promise you

I promise you
For better or for worse
I'll stand by you
As I did at the first

And when you're in the winter
Of your years
I'll be right by your side
To dry your tears

Yes, I'll be the same
Through all that we go through
I promise you
I promise you

I promise you
I promise you
