Lyrics
WHAT I WILL DO
I stood there in front of you,
Right on cue, I said, I do;
I didnt say specifically
What you can expect from me.
What will love mean from now on?
What can you depend upon?
Day by day, our whole life through,
Heres what I intend to do:
Chorus Ill learn the way you like your coffee,
Ill call you out to see the rainbow,
Ill put that chair your grandma gave you
in our living room,
And every night, no matter what, Ill say, II love you,
Thats what I will do.
I wont promise you the stars,
You know I cant reach that far,
But Ill save you the last piece of pie,
And when you feel bad, Ill be nearby,
Chorus repeat
My love for you will always be
Something you can feel
And touch and see,
Chorus repeat
