Analysis of "Will You Marry Me"
"She said: Yes"
I ask you as my friend,
to walk with me through life.
To take my hand in marriage
and to be my cherished wife.
I'll always do my best,
to surround you with my love.
To be there when you need me,
whatever your needs are of.
I'll show you every day,
how much you mean to me.
Because I love you Christy Baby
and my bride I hope you'll be?
