Before I Fall

Before I give you my heart, I would like to know
Can you still love me even if I become bent and slow?
Will you still love me when I'm all wrinkled and gray?
Or listen to me even when I talk nonsense all day?

Before I say 'yes' to you, will you please tell me 'no'?
If I become too stubborn and carelessly lets you go?
Will you run after me should I try to walk away?
Or will you simply give up and ignore me all day?

Before I give you my heart, are you strong enough to give?
When I would demand respect and loyalty as long as you live
When I ask for your whereabouts, will you honestly tell me?
If I become impossible and mean, will you still love me?

Before I chose to love you, can you make a choice right now?
To love God and me alone, can you keep it as your sacred vow?
I need to know just how much of me you can really love
Before I give you my heart...before I fall in love.
