I Do
Jessie James Decker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd given up on me
Everything for you was never as it seemed
I was running out of reasons
I was running out of time
I thought I'd stopped believing
Then you showed me the light
You're my angel
You saved my life
I can't believe we're standing here
What's mine is yours, and yours is mine
I love you till the end of time
I wanna spend forever with you
I do
I do
I do
I can see us
Growing old and grey
Standing beside you
When we walk through heaven's gates
'Cause soulmates live together
From one life to the next
We'll always be together
I promise you this
You found me in the darkest night
You're my angel
You saved my life
I can't believe we're standing here
What's mine is yours, and yours is mine
I love you till the end of time
I wanna spend forever with you
I do
I do
I do, oh
I do
I do
I do, oh
They always say "You'll know when you know"
I didn't know it could feel like this
With every touch, with every kiss
You found me in the darkest night
You're my angel
You saved my life
I can't believe we're standing here
You found me in the darkest night
You're my angel
You saved my life
I can't believe we're standing here
What's mine is yours, and yours is mine
I love you till the end of time
I wanna spend forever with you
I do
I do
Oh, I do
Hm, I do
I do
I do
I do
