There was a time when I cried myself to sleep
Days that seemed like they would be my last
Promises made that we could never keep

There was a time when I thought that love must not be for me
That pain and aching was all I could ever be
A life I felt I could never see

With the struggle of life
And three kids of my own
It seemed like all I could be was alone

The shell of my world was so thick and so scarred
The walls I had built were even taller than before
I hoped nothing would reach me
But boy, was I wrong

Your eyes light up the darkest space
Your love fills the empty place
This thing called my heart
Was pumping anew
Since the day that I met you

Although this world isn’t fair
And we have seen this firsthand
I promise to always be there
I love you more than I can bare

This love I have for you is proof
That even on our darkest nights
The light will shine through

We’ve added more love
To this family of ours
Our home is a dream
I don’t think either of us thought we’d ever see

You always stand up so tall
And take care of my heart
You cannot stand to see me fall

But when we are both so in tune
With the love that we share
This can cause us pain
We wish we didn’t bare

I will stand tall with you
And fight for your love
I’ll fight for your happy
Until I am through

When we say the words, I Do
I know they will mean as much to you
As they do to me
In this cold dark world
I promise to always keep the light on for you
