If I could answer all your questions with a yes, kiss every tear you ever cry,
If I could hold you for eternity, be buried with you when we die,
If I could promise you a life that’s full of only happy things,
If I could give you every second of my days, my nights, my dreams,
If I could run with you through fields of clover, keep your heart in tune with mine,
If I could dance with you in April rain, and shade you from harsh sunshine,
If I could promise you forever without a doubt, without a fear,
If I could only see the future and all that’s living there,
If I could cook your dinner, fold your laundry, hold your hand,
If I could show in every way that you’re the most amazing man,
If I could be perfection not a wrinkle or grey hair,
If I could do these things for you, babe you know I’m there.
If ever I abuse you, I beg you tell me true,
If ever I am hurting you, it’s not what I meant to do.
If ever I awaken to find that you are gone,
If ever I am taken by the stress that’s constant on,
If ever I am angry it’s not because I don’t care,
If ever I am cruel it’s because I haven’t learned to share,
If ever I do something, that you simply can’t forgive,
If ever I fail you, I would rather not live.
If ever life consumes me, I beg this thing of you,
Hold my hand through all the hard times and your love will get me through.
I don’t mean to sound all emo, but that’s how you make me feel
And cuz you’re the only who can, I know this time it’s real.
So if I ever break a promise, if I ever make you cry,
If for some unknown reason my sanity must die,
I never want to wonder if you will love me still,
Because I always want to know the way you really feel.
So hold my hand when I am frightened, kiss away my angry tears,
And promise me tomorrow for the next 100 years,
I know that that’s a lot to ask, so I’ll make it simple too,
I promise now and ever more I’ll love you and only you.
