Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world thinks that I've disappeared
You know just where to look…you know just where to look.
And you, you have a heart of gold
And I, look forward to growing old
Cause ill be old with you
O ill be old with you
Ooo the moon awaits the night
Ooo the sun awaits the day
And I await the time when ill look you
In the eyes and say
O ill say, I do.
And ill plant a garden in the summertime.
Pick you flowers in the rain or shine,
Just because I can, just because I can
Ooo the moon awaits the night
Ooo the sun awaits the day
And I await the time when ill look you
In the eyes and say
O ill say, I do.
Through the calm and the wind
Through thick and through thin
Through the losses and wins
I do I do I do
Through rich and through poor
My heart is yours
Through sickness or health
I do, I do, I do
