I Promise
CeCe Winans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could tell by the way you smile
I could feel it in your touch
And I knew this heart of mine
This time would fall in love

All the hopes and promises given
And the pain that life can bring
Will build our will and commitment
To face anything

I will love you faithfully
Forever unconditionally
And my love, I promise

Everything I have is yours
You're everything I prayed and waited for
And my love, I promise you

Now we begin our life today
And though we've only just begun
The quest until we're old and gray
Is the vow to live as one, one, yeah

I will love you faithfully
Forever unconditionally
And my love, I promise

Everything I have is yours
You're everything I prayed and waited for
And my love, I promise you

Through the desert winds that blow
I'll walk you through the winters cold
I'll be there to keep the fire alive

And when each passage we endure
We will stay strong, we can be sure
Our love survives

And my love, I promise
Everything I have is yours
You're everything I prayed and waited for
And my love, I promise

That I will love you faithfully
Forever unconditionally
And my love, I promise you
I promise you

I'll love you forever and ever
I promise you
I'll love you forever and ever
I promise you
I'll love you forever and ever
I promise you
