Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to say I'm gonna cry my eyes out baby but I will
I'm not ashamed for you to know how much I really love you so
'Cause it was such a thrill
And just remember when you're gone there'll be that someone sad who loves you still
You will look at him and see me smiling back at you
I know you will (You will)
I know you will (You will)
Don't wonder if you want to come back just come running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
'Cause I'm the one who told you
I would love you dear forever and I will
Oh, I will...
Yes, I will...
Don't wonder if you want to come back just come running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
'Cause I'm the one who told you
I would love you dear forever and I will
'cause I'm the one who told you
I would love you dear forever and I will
(I will)
