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
