It wasn't till the rice was thrown
And they both drove away
That I thought about the broken hearts
That started out this way
Some will stand and take the vow
But never see it through
Missing out on a bond of love
Like I have found with you
I'm bound by a promise
I'm bound by this ring
I'm bound to continue
Loving you through everything
I'm even bound to hurt you
But still I believe
In you I've found a good thing
That I'm not bound to leave
Love can be a lot of work
But that's the way it grows
And through the years of give and take
I'm still hoping that you know
That I'm bound by a promise...
