Words and Music by Tedd Swormstedt and Jeffrey East

Red ones in the good book tell us right from wrong
But every man chooses the ones to call his own
Some are wasted breath, but that’s not what these are
The ones I’m about to say, girl, are coming straight from the heart

I’ll give you everything I am and everything I have
I’ll share your dreams, your joy your tears your future and your past
I’ll love you when it’s easy, even more when times are hard
For the person that you want to be and the woman that you are
As honest as a prayer in Sunday church
You have my word

Some are etched in gold on the inside of this ring
Don’t mean much to most but to me they’re everything
Ones said in anger that I regret from the start
But the ones I say to you right now come straight from my heart

I’ll give you everything I am and everything I have
I’ll share your dreams, your joy your tears your future and your past
I’ll love you when it’s easy, even more when times are hard
For the person that you want to be and the woman that you are
As honest as a prayer in Sunday church
You have my word

I’ll love you when it’s easy, even more when times are hard
For the person that you want to be and the woman that you are
As honest as a prayer in Sunday church
You have my word
