1. Because I love and cherish you, And want to fill your heart with grace, These things I promise I will do: I vow to tell you what is true That you might touch whom you embrace Because I love and cherish you. I vow to put aside my view And paint my portrait from your place: These things I promise I will do. And when you must your dreams renew, I vow to give you ample space Because I love and cherish you. I vow to make our battles few And love the child behind the face: These things I promise I will do. And that we might make one of two, Too deep to know, too vast to trace, Because I love and cherish you, These things I promise I will do. 2. These things I promise I will do That life may grant you ample grace Because I love and cherish you: I vow to treasure what is true That I might touch whom I embrace: These things I promise I will do. I'll build a garden in your view That with sweet fruit will stone replace Because I love and cherish you. I vow to love each day anew, For love must dance through time and space: These things I promise I will do. I vow to make your terrors few And then with you those demons face Because I love and cherish you. And now, as we make one of two, A passage we cannot retrace, These things I promise I will do Because I love and cherish you.
