[Verse 1]
I will not be the one
Who turns his back and runs
When things get rocky down the line
And I will not be the one
Holding' the Smoking gun
If our love don't stand the test of time

[Bridge]
I'll love you forever
I will be your man
Beside you always
I will stand

[Verse 2]
I didn't say "I do"
To take control of you
I have no chains to hold you down
If you'll let me spread my wings
You'll get the best of me
Deep in your heart is where I'm bound

[Chorus]
I will not forsake you
I will take your hand
Beside you always
I will stand

[Verse 3]
No matter what happens
This feeling will stay
Till the day that I die
You'll fill up the heart of my soul
That I'll take to the other side

[Verse 4]
And you'll be the only one
When all is said and done
I'll keep you close to me I swear
If ever you are down
No need to look around
Just close your eyes and I'll be there

[Chorus]
I will not forsake you
I will take your hand
Beside you always
I will stand
