10 Promises
I will love you to life's end
for my heart you have won
I give to you this promise
this promise number one
And from this love
brings honour true
A promise of trust
this promise number two
Along with honour
I promise to bring to thee
Joy and happiness
my promise number three
From this you shall know
that for ever more
Will be peace in our hearts
this promise number four
And to what shall we contribute
that keeps our love alive
Is the promise of understanding
this promise number five
With that we both know each other
no deceiving nor any tricks
We promise to be truthful
our promise number six
This bond we hold together
seems to me made in heaven
By god that hold us to
this promise number seven
Kindness and gentleness
we share to each our mate
This comes to us naturally
this promise number eight
Respect and true faith
like vines that entwine
They go hand in hand
with the promise number nine
With these promises we both hold true
some spoken here without end
The most important is Love eternal
my promise number ten
