Betapa dalamnya
Rasaku padamu
Mengungkap segala
Gundahmu untukku

Terpatri indah di jiwa
Mencoba susuri masa depan kita
Jalani cinta seutuhnya cinta

Berharap hiasi dengan asmara

Kasih dengarlah kini semua ada di janji kita
Biarkan tetap terjaga meski tak mudah tuk setia
Takkan pernah terpisah itu ada di janji kita
Kau satu dalam hidupku dan kugenggam satu cintamu

Satu cintamu kan kugenggam selamanya
Satu cintamu...
