Darlin', you can count on me Till the sun dries up the sea Until then I'll always be devoted to you I'll be yours through endless time I'll adore your charms sublime Guess by now you know that I'm devoted to you I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie I'll never be untrue I'll never give you reason to cry I'd be unhappy if you were blue Through the years my love will grow Like a river it will flow It can't die because I'm so devoted to you I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie I'll never be untrue I'll never give you reason to cry I'd be unhappy if you were blue Through the years my love will grow Like a river it will flow It can't die because I'm so devoted to you
