I Do
Matt Goss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I contemplate our lives, our love is so true, my heart knows it's time, to say these four words to you, so under heavenly skies on bended knee, I'm so sure when I say these words...
Will you marry me? So darling say I will, darling say I do, please tell me for the rest of your life... You'll keep that love in your eyes. Oh you know what? I've got real big dreams, when you know you know, I'm in love my everything, my heart skips a beat with a swing, so under heavenly skies, on bended knee, I'm so sure when I say these words... Will you marry me? So darling say I will, darling say I do, please tell me for the rest of your life.. You'll keep that love in your eyes. I will, darling say I do, please tell me for the rest of your life... You'll keep that love in your eyes. I knew that you were the one, the second that I saw your face, I knew my life has just begun, with someone who has such grace, so under heavenly skies, on bended knee, I'm so sure when I say these words... Will you marry me? So darling say I will, darling say I do, please tell me for the rest of your life... You'll keep that love in your eyes. Oh I will, darling say I do, please tell me for the rest of your life... You'll keep the love in your eyes. I will, I do, I will, I do, I will, I do.
