If I Give My Heart to You
Promise of Love: If I Give My Heart to You
Lyrics
If I give my heart to you, will you handle it with care?
If I entrust you with my heart, will you handle it gently and cautiously?
Will you always treat me tenderly and in every way be fair?
Will you consistently treat me kindly and justly in every aspect?
If I give my heart to you, will you give me all your love?
If I give you my heart, are you willing to give me your complete love?
Will you swear that you'll be true to me by the light that shines above?
Can you promise to remain faithful to me under the watchful gaze of the divine?
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad
Will you empathize and share my sorrow when I'm unhappy?
Smile with me when I'm glad
Will you celebrate and share in my joy when I'm happy?
And always be as you are with me tonight
And will you always maintain the same genuine demeanor you have tonight when you're with me?
Think it over and be sure
Reflect on this seriously and ensure your decision is certain.
Please don't answer 'til you do
Don't give an answer until you've thoroughly considered it.
When you promise all these things to me
Only when you make these commitments to me...
Then I'll give my heart to you
...will I entrust my heart to you.
If I give my heart to you, will you handle it with care?
Reiteration of the initial question about trusting one's heart to another.
Will you always treat me tenderly and in every way be fair?
Reiteration of the request for consistent tenderness and fairness.
If I give my heart to you, will you give me all your love?
Repetition of the desire for mutual love and commitment.
Will you swear that you'll be true to me by the light that shines above?
Reiteration of the plea for honesty and faithfulness.
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad
Repetition of the desire for shared emotions, sadness, and happiness.
Smile with me when I'm glad
Continued request for shared emotional experiences.
And always be as you are with me tonight
Reiteration of the desire for consistency in demeanor.
Think it over and be sure
Advice to think deeply and ensure clarity before responding.
Please don't answer 'til you do
Emphasizing the importance of making a well-considered decision.
When you promise all these things to me
Stressing the condition for commitment before the heart is given.
Then I'll give my heart to you
Reiteration of the condition for trust and commitment.
