I'm gonna be here for you baby, I'll be a man of my word Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard I want to sleep with you forever, I want to die in your arms In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you I'll win your trust making memories of us I want to honor your mother, I want to learn from your pa I want to steal your attention like a bad outlaw I want to stand out in a crowd to you, a man among men I want to make your world better than it's ever been I want to love you, like nobody loves you I'll win your trust making memories of us We'll follow the rainbow, wherever before winds blow There'll be a new day coming your way I'm gonna be here for you from now on, this you'll know somehow You've been stretched to the limit, but it's all right now I'm gonna make you a promise, if there's life after this I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm wet kiss I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you I'll win your trust making memories of us I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you I'll earn your trust making memories of us
