I believe that love is real I believe it's how you feel when you touch my hand When you hold me tight But can I really fall asleep Is this a promise we can keep and know it'll feel the same In the morning light Careless words only fade away They don't mean what they say I won't do it You can have this promise, we'll never be apart Take it to your heart And hold me to it Turn the light on look around A hundred years from now everything we know Could fade from sight But love can last that long If we build it slow and strong, standing on the promise That we make tonight Careless words only fade away They don't mean what they say I won't do it You can have this promise, we'll never be apart Take it to your heart And hold me to it Take it to you heart and hold me to it
