I Swear
Smokie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part

'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes, I'll never break your heart
I swear, by the moon and stars in the sky, I'll be there
I swear, like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, I swear

I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall

And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page, my love won't age at all

I swear, by the moon and stars in the sky, I'll be there
I swear, like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, I swear

I swear, by the moon and stars in the sky, I'll be there
I swear, like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there




For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, I swear, I swear

Love this version than the original All-4-one version.

Smokie- Uncovered.. one of the best cover albums💓

Brad Wilson

Technically, the country version by John Michael Montgomery came the year before the All-4-One version, so I think his would be "the original". Still, I agree that this version is definitely better than the pop version.
