[English]

I swear to you,

I will always be

there for you.

There's nothing I won't do.

I promise you,

all my life I will live for you.

We will make it through.

Forever

we will be

together,

you and me.

Oh, and when I hold you,

nothing can compare.

With all of my heart, you know I'll

always be

right there.

I believe in us,

nothing else could ever mean so much.

You're the one I trust.

Our time has come,

we're not two people now, we are one.

Yeah, you're second to none.

Forever

we will be

together,

a family.

The more I get to know you,

nothing can compare.

With all of my heart, you know I'll

always be

right there.

Forever

we will be

together,

just you and me.

The more I get to know you,

the more I really care.

With all of my heart, you know I'll

always be.

You know I really love you,

and nothing can compare.

For all of my life, you know I'll

always be

right there.
