I'll Be Faithful to You
Marie Osmond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see your heart is aching
He hurt you more than he knew
But should you ever want to love again
I'll be faithful to you

You've been crying like a willow
When the night bird sings so blue
Trust was broken but hearts will heal
And I'll be faithful to you.

In this world of pain and sorrow
Where a promise wont hold true
Here's a vow you can be sure of
I'll be faithful to you

So let me dry away your lonesome tears
Like the sun melts morning dew
And I will wrap you up in true, true love
And I'll be faithful to you

In this world of pain and sorrow
Where a promise wont hold true
Here's a vow you can be sure of




I'll be faithful to you
I'll be faithful to you

Overall Meaning

Marie Osmond's song, "I'll Be Faithful to You," is a song about being a constant source of support and love for someone who has been hurt in love. The first verse implies that the person being addressed has been hurt in the past by an ex-lover, and that the singer has picked up on this, as they can see their heart aching. The second verse reinforces this by comparing the person's tears to that of a willow tree's, one of the most symbolic trees when it comes to sadness and pain. However, amidst all these, the singer assures that they will be there for them should they ever want to love again.


The chorus of the song then follows, emphasizing the fickleness of promises in this world where pain and sorrow abound. The singer then provides a counterbalance to this, promising to be faithful to them. The third verse introduces a sense of hope, with the singer promising to help the person dry away their lonesome tears. They also assure that they will wrap them up in true love, thereby providing an unwavering source of support for them. The song ends with the same chorus, emphasizing the promise of faithfulness once more.

I can see your heart is achin'
He hurt you more than he knew
But should you ever want to love again
I'll be faithful to you

You've been crying like a willow
When the night bird sings so blue
Trust was broken but hearts will heal
And I'll be faithful to you

In this world of pain and sorrow

Here's a vow you can be sure of
I'll be faithful to you

Where a promise won't hold true
Here's a vow you can be sure of
I'll be faithful to you
