If you can see into the darkness, finding me there
Where the lonely, tormented souls are
If you can read aloud for me from the book of angels
If you can lure me back out in the angel tongue
If your lips can kiss me yet again
In spite of all that with the same desire
Letting happen what may
If you can do that
Then I promise
That I'll take care of you forever
Then I promise
That I'll take care of you forever
No matter what may happen to you
Then I'll take care of you forever
If you can stand in the middle of life, thinking, "My God,
It's so beautiful," when even the ugly things get to unfold
If you can recognize your enemy and the devil himself
And give them a warm welcome anyway
If you can believe that tomorrow will be a better day
And smile at the thought as you undress
Laying down here by my side
Laying down here by my side
Giving this a shot, giving this another chance
Giving this a shot, if you can do that
Then I promise
That I'll take care of you forever
Then I promise
That I'll take care of you forever
No matter what may happen to you
Then I'll take care of you forever
I'll take care of you forever
If you can walk into the darkness to find me there
Where the lonely, tormented souls are
Then sing to me a little, Amazing Grace
So that I may recognize your voice, deep and hoarse
Giving this a shot, giving this another chance
Giving this a shot, if you can do that
If you can do that
Then — then
Then — then
If you can do that
Then — then
Then I promise
That I'll take care of you forever
Then I promise
That I'll take care of you forever
No matter what may happen to you
Then I'll take care of you forever
I'll take care of you forever
Forever
