I Do
Paul Brandt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But rest assured 'cause you are safe at home at last
I rescued you, you rescued me
And we're right where we should be when we're together
I know the questions in your mind
But go ahead and ask me one more time
You'll find the answer's still the same
For worse or better
Will I promise to be your best friend
And am I here until the end
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you
And did I say my love is true
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
I know the time will disappear
But this love we're building on will always be here
No way that this is sinking sand
On this solid rock we'll stand forever
Will I promise to be your best friend?
And am I here until the end?
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you?
And did I say my love is true?
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have
Oh I will, I am, I can, I have
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
