I CROSS MY HEART

I CROSS MY HEART

GEORGE STRAIT

(I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG THE MONTH TRAVIS WAS BORN, NOVEMBER, 1992)

Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start.

I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now,
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow.
I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete,
And as long as there's a breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.
As we look into the future, it's as far as we can see,
So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be.

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm,
You've got the promise of my love to keep you warm.

In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine,
A love as true as mine.

 
Travis turned 18 this week! He is officially an adult. But Travis will always be my baby. No matter how tall (6'2" and still climbing) or how old, Travis will always have a special place in my heart. I will never forget holding him the first time, looking into his eyes, and knowing my life would never be the same. Never again would I think of myself first, or make a life decision without struggling with how it would affect him, or wonder what it felt to love deeply and truly. Thank you for that gift, my son. And thank you for our first dance together, in the kitchen, November, 1992. It is a dance and a song I will never forget, I cross my heart.
