The Chordettes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Do you swear to
Love me forever and ever)

I do, I do, I swear to
Always love you (love you)
With all my heart and soul
(Heart and soul) forever and ever
I'll marry you (marry you)
And never go away (go away)
And we'll become as one (as one)
On our wedding day

We'll walk down the aisle
The preacher will smile
We'll make our life worthwhile

I'll say that I do
You'll say that you do too
And the priest will
Pronounce us man and wife

The memory (memory)
Will always be with me (with me)
As we exchange our vows (our vows)
On our wedding day





On our wedding day
