I Promise You
Eternal Vows of Love: Johnny Cash's Timeless Promise in 'I Promise You'
Lyrics
I promised you the day you marry me
I committed to you on our wedding day
I'll be everything to you that I should be
I will fulfill all the responsibilities and expectations in our relationship
And while you're in the springtime of your years
During the early, vibrant years of your life
You'll not know what it's like to shed a tear
You won't experience the pain of sorrow
I'll be the same through all that we go through
My commitment remains steadfast in all circumstances
I promise you I promise you
Reaffirming the promise to be a constant presence
I promise you for richer or for poorer
I assure you, whether in wealth or poverty
I'll more than share each pain that you endure
I will share and alleviate each pain you face
And when you're in the autumn of your years
In the later years of life
You'll call me in the night and I'll be near
You can call on me, and I'll be close
I love you and I'll let you know I do
Expressing love and making it known
I promise you I promise you
Reiterating the commitment to endure together
I promise you for better or for worse
In good times and bad times
I'll stand by you as I did at the first
I'll stand by you, just like in the beginning
And when you're in the winter of your years
As you face the challenges of aging
I'll be right by your side to dry your tears
I'll be there to comfort you
Yes I'll be the same through all that we go through
Consistency in commitment through life's journey
I promise you I promise you
Repeating the promise to remain steadfast
I promise you I promise you
Reaffirming the commitment once again
