Cross My Heart
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glass moon waltzing on the waters
Horse and carriage
I am courting the marriage
Of dreams in the wings
Of visions unseen
[Chorus]
Only your love will do
Cross my heart over you
Cross my heart
There is room enough for two
Cross my heart over you, over You
Inside, feels like there's a thunder
Spellbound, you've take me under
Gold and diamond
Ever saying that I'm in this forevermore
You can be sure
[Chorus]
The first verse of Michael W. Smith's song "Cross My Heart" paints a vivid picture of imagination and romance. The phrase "Ink and paper, epic offers" suggests that the artist is someone who believes in the power of words to create something larger than life. The image of a "Glass moon waltzing on the waters" is ethereal and dreamy, while the pairing of a "Horse and carriage" with "courting the marriage" emphasizes the theme of old-fashioned love and courtship. The last lines of the verse, "Of dreams in the wings/Of visions unseen" speak to the idea of the artist as a visionary who sees beyond what is immediately present.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of love in the singer's life. "Cross my heart/Only your love will do/Cross my heart over you" is a promise from the singer to their beloved that they will always choose love, and that their love for each other connects them "over You" (with the capital "Y" suggesting this means God or a higher power). The chorus ends with "There is room enough for two," which speaks to the idea that love is not finite and that there is always room for more love.
In the second verse, the singer describes the intense feelings they have for their beloved. "Inside, feels like there's a thunder/Spellbound, you've taken me under/Gold and diamond/Ever saying that I'm in this forevermore/You can be sure" suggests that the singer is completely swept away by their love and that it is a powerful force that guides them. The use of "gold and diamond" seems to suggest that this love is the most precious thing in the world, and that it is eternal.
