I promise to let you to continue to pluck my heart strings

Just like you would a guitar

Making music as beautiful as a bell’s ring.

I promise to hold your hand if you’ve had a bad dream

And stay up with you until you fall back to sleep.

Even if it means waiting for the sun’s beams.

And, if you ever get cold, I’ll go to the thermostat and crank it

Or, if we’re in bed, I’ll move closer to you

Just so you can have my share of the blanket.

Even though I don’t like shoe shopping, I promise to do it with you without dispute

And I’ll even send you a picture via text message

If you’re not with me and I come across a great pair of boots.

If you are in a dressing room, I promise to hold your purse.

And, if you want me to get on stage with you

I’ll sing karaoke, even if we haven’t rehearsed.

I promise to be the husband, friend, lover and father you need me to be.

And, if you ever need me to be more than that.

I’ll do what it takes; you won’t see me flee.

I also still promise to tell you I love each day

And, just in case you don’t hear me or don’t believe me

I promise to tell you many more times so you understand I’m still here to stay.
