I’m going to be all that you want me to be
I’m going to laugh when you make fun of me
I’m going to love everything that you do
And you’ll wake up each morning saying “I love you too”
I will write you songs no one else will hear
I will not make you shed even a single tear
I will take you places, I will give you the world
I will stay with you, I give you my word
I will plan out adventures to faraway lands
I will memorize the texture of our intertwined hands
I will make you promises I will forever keep
I will hold you so tightly when we go to sleep
I’m going to remember each and every date
I’m never going to be even a minute late
I’m going to whisper everything that I feel
I’m going to promise this will always be real
