I can see that you’re nervous.
I think you can see I am too.
These days my time seems out of rhyme,
and filled with someone else’s rules
Well I’ve been told that you’re faithful;
And I’ve been told you’re kind.
And I’ve been told the dreams I hold
are the kind that are best left behind.
So I’m not saying I love you.
I can’t say that I do.
I can just say that I promise to do
all the things that I say I will do.
Some lives are filled with wonder.
Some lives only hope for more.
And some dreams don’t seem to matter that much,
when you can’t recall what they’re for.
Well, I don’t care if you love me.
I don’t expect that you do.
I only care that you do all the things
that your words say you promise to do.
Now we could be together,
or walk away alone.
But the dream I hold, so I’ve been told,
is to have
a place to call home.
So I will give you my lifetime,
and stay with you when we’re old.
But I can’t say that I’ll give you my heart;
and I can’t say I’ll give you my soul.
Some lives are filled with wonder.
Some lives only hope for more.
And some dreams don’t seem to matter at all
if you never know who they’re for.
I guess this is what happens.
I guess this fits some plan.
And if I wonder out loud inside
doesn’t mean that I must understand.
We walk these steps we’re given,
and fill our moments with time.
We play our roles as life unfolds,
and watch it from the sidelines.
But If I keep my pledge to you,
and you keep yours to me;
then maybe we can leave some room
to feel some small part of free.
Some lives are filled with wonder.
Some lives only hope for more.
And some lives search for away somehow
to find what dreaming is for
It’s strange how time can happen.
It’s strange where time can lead.
This history is a mystery
that’s filled with you and me.
There are days I have forgotten.
There are days I wish I could.
There are days that linger more than once,
leaving traces where we both stood.
Some years we count with laughter.
We count some years with tears.
And some years the who and the why we are
isn’t always certain or clear.
We’ve walked so long together.
Gone down so many long roads.
Along the way you’ve shown
the deepest parts of you,
that only I can know.
Now I don’t know if you love me.
You stay here with me it’s true.
I just know the me I find inside
seems to always be calling for you.
And here I’ve given my lifetime
to be with you when we’re old.
And now I find that I’ve given my heart.
And I find that I’ve given my soul.
So I can say that I love you.
I can say that I do.
And I can say that I promise to do
everything in my power for you.
Yes, I can say I love you too.
I can say that I do.
And I can say that I promise to do
everything in my power for you.
Yes I can say
that I promise to do
every thing
in my power
for you.
