Lyrics:
As surely as I stand here

          As surely as I breathe

          I could not forsake you girl

          I could never leave

          As surely as there's sunshine

          Just as sure as there's sunshine, oh baby

          As surely as there's rain

          I could never make you sad

          Or ever bring you pain

          And it's a safe bet

          That i'll never make you fret

          I will love and cherish you

          No matter what you say and do
          As surely as I stand here

          As surely as I speak

          I will take good care of you

          Be strong instead of weak

          As surely as there's moonbeams

          Moonbeams

          As surely as we dream

          You and I will grow together

          We'll both toil as a team

          And it's a safe bet

          That you'll always be one of the set

          I'm gonna love you desperately

          Of this I'm sure most definitely
          You may wonder how I know

          That this is true

          All I have to do

          Is to take one look at you

          Then in your eyes

          I see that special glow, oh baby

          And in my mind, in my mind

          I positively know
          As surely as I stand here

          As surely as I exist

          You'll always be my one and only girl

          Number one up on my list

          As surely as the stars glow
