I Cross My Heart
Scotty McCreery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you meet that certain someone you been searching hard to find
It's a new love full of passion that can sometimes make you blind
I don't mind being swept away if I know right from the start
So before we go much further girl, can I trust you with my heart?

In the time we've spent together I have learned to trust in you
So many things you've given before I even asked you to
But reality and romance are sometimes far apart
So what I really need to know is can I trust you with my heart?

Can I cast my cares upon you, can you stand a heavy load
Can I count on you to walk me down that long and winding road
If you promise me these simple things I can guaranty
You can always count on me

Can I cast my cares upon you, can you stand a heavy load
Can I count on you to walk me down that long and winding road
If you promise me these simple things I can guaranty
You can always count on me

When two hearts surrender and are sworn to understand
It completes a perfect union between a woman and a man
So please don't misunderstand me I don't want to go too far




Without knowing just one answer girl, can I trust you with my heart?
Can I trust you with my heart?
