Promise

You say that I’m crazy
For loving you so much
And when I say your kiss
Taste like butter scotch

And the dust turns to sugar
When it touches your feet
And I will beg you to marry me
On the special day we meet

And when you smile
You lights up my life
And every night I prayer
One day you will be my wife

And I can’t promise you the stars
Or the riches of diamond and gold
And I can’t promise you an easy road
Or that I will, never get old

But I can promise you my heart
And to love you for every tomorrow
And share the joy of having a little baby
While my love for you for ever grow

We don’t know what the future brings
For death knows no age
It can come for you or for me
So let’s enjoy every second of our marriage

The love for nature that we share
And the movie *the sound of music*
The desire to travel the world
And hold each other when we are sick

The foods we both love
And to cook for each other to try
And when I show you my baby picture
We both laughing until we cry

The magic of you voice
How cute you look when you yawn
The way you open the windows
And smile at the break of dawn

Your amazing sense of humor
Your wiliness to try any foods
Your child like innocence
And your wicked attitudes

You have touch my life
From so very far away
You give me hope that a miracle
Could happens to see our wedding day

You have stolen my heart
And it now belongs to you
And today I say "I DO."
Here at the altar, facing you.
