I Will
Christopher Cross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a man who always played around in love
so quick to take
but so afraid to give enough.
But now
I've found the one
and heaven will only know
what only my eyes can say and time can't take away.
I was a girl who trusted no one with my heart
and the dreams that young girls dream were just vanishing in the
dark.
But now
I've found the one
and heaven will only know
what only my eyes can say
they say –

(Chorus)
That I will take you forever
and there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.
And I will take you forever
and there will never be anyone else but you
anyone else but you.

Now my touch belongs to you and I will always be your best friend
now my secrets are safe with you and the magic will never end.
Now you are the one
and heaven will only know
what only our eyes can say
they say –

(Chorus)
That I will take you forever
and there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.
And I will take you forever
and there will never be anyone else but you
anyone else but you
anyone else but you.

(Instrumental)

That I will take you forever
(Oh yes I will yes I will take you forever)
there will never be anyone else in my heart but you...
(In my heart)
I will take you forever
(Yes I will)
There will never be anyone else but you
(Anyone else anyone else)
I will take you forever
(I will take you forever, ill take you forever)
there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.
In my heart I will take you forever
(I'll take you forever)
there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.




(ohh yeah)
I will take you forever..

I was a man
Who always played around in love
So quick to take
But so afraid to give enough
But now I've found the one
And heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
And time can't take away

[Verse 2: Frances Ruffelle]
I was a girl
Who trusted no one with my heart
And the dreams that young girls dream
Were just vanishing in the dark
But now I've found the one
And heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
They say

[Chorus: Frances Ruffelle, Christopher Cross, Both]
That I will (I will) take you (Take you) forever
And there will never be anyone else
In my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you
