(This I swear...)
Each and every way I can
I will prove to you
I've got a fortune in my hands when I'm holding you
Never want to let you go again
And that's the truth
I will try and answer all your prayers
This I swear

There's always a danger
There's always a fear
Love's not gonna make it out of here
I'm not asking for perfection
Just want a love that's true
And in return
I'll do my best for you
It seems the higher we climb
The further we fall together
But right here, I'll vow
Baby, I promise you know

Each and every way I can
I will prove to you
I've got a fortune in my hands when I'm holding you
Never want to let you go again
And that's the truth
I will try and answer all your prayers
This I swear

We each have our moments
Our times of doubt
But I know deep down
Don't want to live without you
You're the exception to the rule
'cause where love's concerned
I guess I've been a fool
I know it's a long, long road
But as long as we stand together
Right here, I'll vow
Baby I promise you now

Each and every way I can
I will prove to you
I've got a fortune in my hands when I'm holding you
Never want to let you go again
And that's the truth
I will try and answer all your prayers
This I swear
