Píseň: I Swear

Interpret:
Kenny Rogers
Album:
Love Songs
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighin' on your mind
You can be sure I know my heart


And I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I would make mistakes
I'll never break your heart


I swear by the moon 
and the stars in the sky ... I'll be there,
I swear, like a shadow 
that's by your side ... I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with ev'ry beat 
of my heart ... and I swear


I'll give you ev'ry thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls


And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cos as the time turns the page, 
my love won't age at all


And I swear by the moon 
and the stars in the sky ... I'll be there
I swear, like the shadow 
that's by your side ... I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with ev'ry beat 
of my heart ... and I swear


....[instrumental interlude]....


For better or worse, 
till death do us part
I'll love you with every (single) 
beat of my heart
I swear, I swear, oh ... I ... swear...
