I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
And I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us

    Song Meaning:I dedicated this song to my boyfriend.

    my meaning to this song for me is..

    I'm gonna be here for you baby I'll be a man of my word

    Im always going to be here for him no matter what happens even if he gets into bad stuff or hurts me. "Ill be a man of my word." Im not a man but im always going to keep my word Always+Forever and 'Til death do we part'






    Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard

    Im going to tell him so many sweet things. That comes straight from my heart. That no one else has ever told him because no one could possibly love him as much as i do.


    I wanna sleep with you forever And I wanna die in your arms


    I wanna stay in his arms forever only his. From now until forever

    And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you And I'll earn your trust making memories of us


    Im gonna love him more then anyone else could. And ill make so many memories of us and keep them so we will always remember them.



    I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw

    I wanna be the one that always has his attention.


    I wanna stand out in a crowd for you

    I wanna be in a crowd of people and hell be able to spot me right away.


    I wanna make your world better than it's ever been


    I wanna make him happier then hes ever been



    I'm gonna make you a promise If there's life after this I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

    If there's anything after this life i wanna be the one waiting there for him to spend another eternity with him.

    General Comment:this song is sweet and pretty self explainatory. What |I like about it though, is how it describes love as getting to know a person, taking the time to learn the little things. To me, thats what true love is
