A few readers have asked for the lyrics so they can sing along:
"I Will Always"
Lawson Bates
From the day that we first met
I knew that God had led our steps
As I grew closer to you
You became my everything
And I pray that I could be
The one who would make your dreams come true
And as we're standing here today
Daddy gives the bride away
I can't believe that we've come this far
And though I don't have much
I give you my love
And I want you to know
With all my heart
Chorus:
I promise to
Stand by you
Through all the storms in life
I'll be there and I'll be true
No matter what the road
In this life takes us through
I will always
I will always
Love you
Now I don't know what lies ahead
Or where life's road will bend
Only Jesus knows what tomorrow brings
But if sickness or health
In poverty or wealth
I'll be right there by your side
To walk through anything
So as you take my hand
Together we'll stand
And do our best to follow where God leads
You can always trust
No matter what
The way I feel right now
Will always be
Chorus
People say the only thing
That stays the same is change
But I can tell you right now
Until my dying day
The love I give won't fade
No matter what the road
In this life takes us through
I will always (I will always)
I will always (I will always)
I will always
Love you

Great song (the words are touching), well done Lawson! Haven't heard the tune yet as I can't watch BUB in my country and I'm so behind that I don't know how to use iTunes or such things... but I really hope the tune matches the words :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful song! I wish I could write lyrics like that! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteLawson is an incredibly talented songwriter. Wishing him a long and fruitful career in music.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! It is very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteBest song and sound so far! Keep it up!
ReplyDelete"You became my everything"?
ReplyDeleteNice song but we don't want to look to a person to make our dreams come true.
ReplyDeleteDifferent people have different dreams. If one where to dream of having children then a husband could certainly make that come true. But if you never marry that's fine too everyone of us has a unique plan which may or may not involve children.
DeleteThose lyrics are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis song is really nice Lawson. Hope it makes it to #1 I like the way you wrote it and hopefully you do find your special one, she'll be one lucky girl.

ReplyDeleteIf someone asks us to sing this at their wedding should we say no since there is no accompaniment or sheet music available? I've searched and can't seem to find any, is there anything available? HELP!
