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 โ€œtill the sun dries up the seaโ€ uses an impossible event to mean โ€œfor as long as time can be imagined.โ€ The river metaphor suggests love that keeps moving and growing rather than becoming still. The phrase โ€œif you were blueโ€ is an informal way to say โ€œif you were sadโ€; the speaker says their own happiness is closely tied to their partnerโ€™s 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 relationshipโ€™s history, so listeners cannot know whether the vows respond to a particular worry. Its focus is the comfort of expressing complete trust and commitment.
