I Swear
Donny & Marie Osmond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
Cause I stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
I swear by the moon
And the stars in the sky I'll be there
I swear like a shadow that's by your side I'll be there

For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear

I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when there's silver in your hair
Won't have to ask if I still care
Cause as the time turns the page
My love won't age at all

And I swear (I swear) by the moon
And the stars in the sky I'll be there
I swear like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there

For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear

Oh I swear by the moon
And the stars in the sky I'll be there
I swear (I swear) like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there

For better or worse
Till death do us part I'll love you
With every single beat of my heart

I swear




I swear
I swear
