You and I would meet in the park
Share a bottle with a foreign name
Talking through the night, making plans
Wishing we could always stay the same

But we knew it was gonna change
'Cause life will always find another way
So we swore not to let us fade
And that's a promise I will keep for the rest of my days

I, I wanna battle the odds and give it a try
So I, I'm gonna cross my heart and hope to die
I, I'm gonna cross my heart and hope to die
I, I'm gonna cross my heart and hope to die

You and I would meet in the park
Write our names into the old pine tree
We would run away in the dark
Wishing we could write our history

But we knew it was gonna change
'Cause life will always find another way
So we swore not to let us fade
And that's a promise I will keep for the rest of my days

I, I wanna battle the odds and give it a try
So I, I'm gonna cross my heart and hope to die
I, I'm gonna cross my heart and hope to die
I, I'm gonna cross my heart and hope to die

I, I'm gonna cross my heart and hope to die
I, I'm gonna cross my heart and hope to die
