Here we are talking about forever
Both know damn well it's not easy together
We've both felt love
We've both felt pain
I'll take the sunshine over the rain

And I'll try to love only you
And I'll try my best to be true

Take my hand let's face eternity
Well I can't tell you I'll never change
But I can swear that in every way

But I will give you all that I am
