Lyrics meaning
The speaker promises lasting love and loyalty. The feeling is warm and reassuring: they want their partner to trust them, and they promise not to cause pain. The repeated promises make the song sound like a vow, while the final lines present love as something that will continue to grow over time.
Several images express how permanent this love is. Saying it will last โtill the sun dries up the seaโ uses an impossible event to mean โfor as long as time can be imagined.โ The river metaphor suggests love that keeps moving and growing rather than becoming still. The phrase โif you were blueโ is an informal way to say โif you were sadโ; the speaker says their own happiness is closely tied to their partnerโs feelings.
The lyrics portray devotion in very certain terms: the speaker says they will never hurt, lie to, or betray the other person. This may be heard as a sincere promise, or as an idealized picture of love that leaves little room for conflict or change. The song does not describe the relationshipโs history, so listeners cannot know whether the vows respond to a particular worry. Its focus is the comfort of expressing complete trust and commitment.
