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   Holdin' the smokin' gun   If our love don't stand the test of time      I'll love you forever   I will be your man   Beside you always   I will stand      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      I will not forsake you   I will take your hand   Beside you always   I will stand      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      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      I'll love you forever   I will be your man   Beside you always   I will stand
