[If You Promise]
I'll never forget when we
painted the town white,
With rice, white roses
and that wedding dressFor you were simply
elegant and stunning,
When you were waltzing
to me,
Your loverTo express your vows
To immortalise our loveWith our glistening rings
that lit the church,
The symbols of our bondFor you were my universe
and I was your star
In the enormous state of
your beauty,
I exsistedFor you captivated my
eyes with
That stunning smile,
That silky smooth hair,
That slim waistline,And oh!
Those snow white teeth
tooThat froze the smiles of
everyone who beheld
youFor your beauty was like
ice in the eyes of men
It froze each person that
attended our weddingIncluding myself,
For I couldn't get used to
it;
Used to those sparkly eyes
Used to those cheery lipsIn this winter wonderful
that we created
For the future of our lives
For the evidence of our
loveSo be my queen and die
by my side
As my wife, As my love,
As my life,And promise me that you'll
honor our vows
Like the love that I have
for youFor neither the hells
Nor the heavens,
Can tear me away from
youFor in the hells you're
my demon and I'm
your devilAnd in the heavens
you're my angel and
I'm your guardian,So I'll continue to be the
star in your universe,If you promise that you'll
be the sun to my darkness.
