darling, it'll be alright

the weight of the world on my shoulders

brings me to my knees sometimes

there's fire on the mountain

and the water's on the rise

bow my head

and i close my tired eyes

you say

darling

it'll be alright

i will hold you tonight

for the night

and the years to come

i'll hold you in my arms

that's right

till death do us part

i meant every word

when i stood by you and said your name

darkness in my mind

it blooms from time to time

steals the breath right out of my chest

colours fade to grey

and the joy it goes astray

lost my step

i can't remember the way

you say

darling

it'll be alright

i will hold you tonight

for the night

and the years to come

i'll hold you in my arms

that's right

till death do us part

i meant every word

when i stood by you and said your name

you're all that i ever needed

now the day is done

we watch the setting sun

feel the light on our faces

i pull you close to me

i still can't believe

that i am yours now forever

you say

darling

it'll be alright

i will hold you tonight

tonight

for the night

and the years to come

i'll hold you in my arms

that's right

till death do us part

i meant every word

when i stood by you and said your name
