Put your worries aside for a minute
look into my eyes and tell me
what's going through your mind
don't let other people sway your decision
if you love me as much as you say
prove it to me in every way
our families have their own opinions
everybody wants to rule the world
but it's up to us to pull away
let's be honest with each other
the color of our skin shouldn't matter
love is a powerful emotion
one that we can't control
we never could even as kids
we've always been the best of friends
we've changed each other's lives
in so many wonderful ways
we should not have to set a limit on love
let's take our relationship to the next level
become a family and leave this all behind us
because in the end it will only be you and me
no one else matters and I know
that as the years go by
we'll have our share of problems
but we'll learn to get through them
we'll find a way to stay in love
because we always have in the past
you entered my life like a gentle sigh
a quiet breeze blowing softly through my world
you decorated my life with the colors of your heart
you never let me down and deep inside
I know that our love will keep us together
our friendship has always been our foundation
it is something so precious and true
one that I will never take advantage of
I love you more than you could ever know
within my heart and in my mind
you have always been the one that I turn to
and let me reassure you can count on me too
as I stand here before you on bended knee
I want you to know that I am willing to sacrifice
I will do whatever it takes to make you mine
you are the reason that I wake each day
your name is written all over the walls of my heart
and I treasure every moment that we spend together
please take this ring and promise
that you'll spend the rest of your life with me
let me hold you close to my heart
together we will rise above it all
and in time they will learn to accept us
this is our life and our choice
we owe it to ourselves to be happy
with every breath that I take each day
I am going to make you know how much I care
I have always loved you and I always will
so please hold me and look into my eyes
open up your heart and soul to me
let's not waste another moment in worry and fear
as I hold you and touch your heart
there is one thing that I have to know
will you marry me?
