One day I’ll get to look upon your beautiful face,
no longer dependent on a camera…I’ll witness your beauty with my own two eyes.
One day I’ll touch your beautiful face with my own two hands,
and I’ll look into those gorgeous blue eyes.
I’ll help you build your dreams,
together we’ll face this world.
One day I’ll wrap you in these two arms,
holding you tightly as if I’ll never let go…and I won’t let go.
One day you’ll see…I had every intention of keeping that promise,
the one made so long ago.
One night I’ll take your hands in mine…I’ll lead you outside,
and I’ll dance with you under that star-filled sky.
One night I’ll run my fingers through your hair,
holding you close as you fall asleep.
And one morning I’ll still be there beside you,
waking up to your still beautiful face.
