I cannot swear I love you
as the roses love the rain
but I can promise you darling
I'll never cause you pain

I cannot swear I love you
as the night sky loves the moon
but I can promise you darling
I'll leave you no time soon

I cannot swear I love you
as the mountains love the snow
but I can promise you darling
that I'll never let you go

I cannot swear I love you
as the ocean loves the shore
but I can promise you darling
all these things and thousands more
