I can't promise I can supply everything you want...
but if you give me the chance I'll be everything you need...

I can't promise that we'll be together forever...
but I can promise that I'll love you that long...

I can't promise that you and I will never fight...
but I can promise that I'll always forgive you...

I can't promise that you will always be happy...
but I can promise that I'll do anything to see you smile...

I can't promise you'll never get sick...
but I can promise that if you do, I'll stay by your side until you're well...

I can't promise I won't get on your nerves...
and I can't promise I won't laugh when I do...

I can't promise that there will always be a big meal on the table when you get home...
but I can promise that I'll never let you go hungry...

I can't promise you'll never get bored of me...
but I can promise that I'll never get bored of you...

I can't promise that you'll never be afraid...
but I can promise that I'll never let anything hurt you...

I can't promise that I'll always be within hands reach...
but I can promise that I'll always be within hearts...

And I can't promise you that things will always be smooth sailing...

But I CAN promise you this...

From the moment I say "I DO", you will be my world, my comfort, my everything, and I will never stop loving you...
