Lyrics

I believe that love is real

I believe in the reality of love.

I believe it's how you feel when you touch my hand

Love is felt when our hands touch.

When you hold me tight

Emphasizing the intimacy of being held tightly.

But can I really fall asleep

Questioning if the promise of love allows peaceful sleep.

Is this a promise we can keep and know it'll feel the same

Seeking assurance that the love will endure and remain consistent.

In the morning light

Reflecting on the enduring nature of love in the morning light.


Careless words only fade away

Underscoring the transience of thoughtless words.

They don't mean what they say

Asserting that careless words lack genuine meaning.

I won't do it

Committing to avoiding such careless behavior.

You can have this promise, we'll never be apart

Offering a promise of perpetual togetherness.

Take it to your heart

Encouraging the partner to internalize this commitment.

And hold me to it

Expressing a desire to be held accountable for the promise.


Turn the light on look around

Switching focus to the longevity of love over time.

A hundred years from now everything we know

Contemplating the potential fading of the familiar in a century.

Could fade from sight

Emphasizing that love can endure beyond the visible.

But love can last that long

Believing in the enduring power of slow and strong love.

If we build it slow and strong, standing on the promise

Standing on the commitment made tonight.

That we make tonight

Stressing the importance of building love gradually.


Careless words only fade away

Reiterating that thoughtless words have fleeting significance.

They don't mean what they say

Reaffirming the lack of true meaning in careless expressions.

I won't do it

Committing to avoiding such thoughtless behavior.

You can have this promise, we'll never be apart

Renewing the promise of everlasting togetherness.

Take it to your heart

Encouraging the partner to internalize this renewed commitment.

And hold me to it

Expressing a desire to be held accountable for the renewed promise.


Take it to you heart and hold me to it

Reiterating the plea to internalize and hold accountable for the renewed commitment.
