Our life paths crossed,
You're so sweet and so kind.
But I've something to tell you,
And I want you to know.
I know there's been those,
Who've held your hand tightly.
This I will promise, but for now it can wait.
I know there's been those,
To give things of beauty.
This I will promise, but for now it can wait.
I know there's been those,
To show you the wonders,
This world of ours.
This I will promise, but for now it can wait.
I know there's been those,
To promise forever,
And treat you so tender, no less than perfect.
This I will promise, but for now it can wait.
All of this I promise you, but only ...
... When I hold your heart.
