I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky And I swear like the shadow that's by your side I see the questions in your eyes I know what's weighing on your mind You can be sure I know my heart 'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years You'll only cry those happy tears And though I make mistakes I'll never break your heart And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there I swear like a shadow that's by your side I'll be there For better or worse, till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart And I swear I'll give you every thing I can I'll build your dreams with these two hands We'll hang some memories on the walls And when just the two of us are there You won't have to ask if I still care 'Cause as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky (I'll be there) I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there (I'll be there) For better or worse, till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart And I swear I swear (I swear) by the moon and stars in the sky I'll be there I swear like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there For better or worse, till death do us part I'll love you with every (single) beat of my heart I swear, I swear, oh, I, swear
