Lyrics
This I Swear Is True
My love for you will last
Till time itself is through
Oh, my darling
Oh, my darling
This I swear is true
(swear is true)
My heart is yours my dear
There will be no one new
Oh, my darling
Oh, my darling
This I swear is true
(swear is true)
I promise you that I
Will never make you cry
This love will be eternally
Cross my heart
And hope to die
My lips will kiss I vow
Nobody else but you
Oh, my darling
Oh, my darling
This I swear is true
(This I swear is true)
(This I swear is true)
(This I swear is true)
(This I swear is true)
