Please believe me when I say that I am trying.
Can’t you feel the way I feel when I’m with you?
Is there something in your eyes, or are you crying?
Could it be perhaps you feel the same way, too?
I’ll admit that there were times I thought you’d leave me,
And yet your love and faith in me kept you around.
It’s your love that keeps me going strong, believe me.
Without you, I know my ship would run aground.
Your sweet love is the ship that has kept my heart afloat
In this endless sea of loss and despair.
Years from now when you look back at all the songs I wrote,
You will see a part of you is always there.
Promise me that you’ll believe in me forever.
I will always do my best to make you proud.
Rest assured that my love will leave you never,
And I swear I’ll always keep the oath I vowed.
