Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I met you
An angel whisper to me
That you would be the one
I would share my life forever
And when you look at me
I knew that we have been together
From another place and time
And God us made of souls made again

Now that you are here
I want you to know
I promise you
Forever in my heart
I knew be true
We'll never be apart
I will love you
I always will
I promise you

Now we are one
Blessed by the heavens up above
We shelf life
And take on our dreams with us make them me
Until we will won't togethers
And we can't look back
And never regret what we have done

My love no need to feel
'Cause I promise you
I promise you (I promise I promise)
Forever in my heart
I knew be true (I promise I promise)
We'll never be apart
I will love you (I promise I promise)
I always will
I promise you




I always will
I promise you

Oftentimes, we say goodbye to the person we love without wanting too..😭 Though that doesn't mean that we've stopped loving them or we've stopped to care.Sometimes goodbye is a painful way to say goodbye 😭
To person I loved,
I hope you remember me everytime u hear this beautiful song..you know how much I love and care for you..
It's so sad that we're not meant to be together after all 😭
We've been fought longer time enough to keep our relationship but unfortunately it was not that easy to go on 😭
I love you so much and will keep u in my heart forever 😭
