Ties That Bind

At last my lady love has spoken to me
What better could it be to hear her sweet voice
She would not be a prisoner because of thee
If I cast away my name that wasn't by choice

A name is just a name it is only skin deep
To kill the name is to kill the enemy, you'd be the same
The sweet reward would be me to keep
Tis a sweet promise I will make you keep, what is a name?

Our love is real, pure like the first buds of spring
Make no mistake it won't change with the seasons
If marriage is what you want, for you my life I will bring
So let us be together for this very reason

I pledge my love for you from this night and on
Our love will live on because the ties that bind are strong
