[Verse 1]
Here we are
Talking bout forever
Both know damn well
It's not easy together
We've both felt love
We've both felt pain
I'll take the sunshine
Over the rain

[Chorus]
And I'll try
To love only you
And I'll try
My best to be true
Oh darling, I'll try

[Verse 2]
So I'm not scared
It's worth a chance to me
Take my hand
Let's face eternity
Well I can't tell you
That I'll never change
But I can swear
That in every way

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I'm not perfect
Just another man
But I will give you
All that I am

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I'll try
To be true to you
I'll try
I'll try
To always love you
I'll try
