To have and to hold
An unending plea
To stay strong together
And keep you with me

And with each beat of my heart
I give myself into your arms
Never to fly away
Let this love never die away

For better or worse
Through calm and storm
Keep me safe
And keep me warm

Through sickness and health
And when you are down
I’ll be by your side
Until you come around

For rich or for poor
Gold is not all
The wealth of our love
Will lift from a fall

A wish fulfilled
A dream comes true
And all I want
Is to stay with you
To have a life
Where I am free
To love someone
And have them love me
