Till My Dying Day Feat Tynie

by: Banky W.

[Verse 1:]
Look in my eyes and then tell me
Tell me what is it you see,
This picture of love endlessly
And it's framing you and me
[Pre-chorus:]
So won't you be my lady
I will be your man
Together we can make it
If you'll take my hand
So say you'll be my lady
I will be your man
Together we can make it
If you'll take my hand
[Chorus:]
Till my dying day,
I love you ohhh I
Till my dying day
I love you ohhh I
Baby won't you stay
I need you ohhh I
Till I die I will never leave your side
Ohhh I, Ohhh I
[Verse 2:]
You are the beat my heart drums to,
You're the sunshine through my night,
Let me be the one you run to,
Through the darkness I'll be your light
[Pre-chorus:]
So won't you be my lady
I will be your man
Together we can make it
If you'll take my hand
I will be your lady
You can be my man
Don't matter if they hate it
Cause they don't understand
[Bridge:]
And so I take this vow, to always be right here, by your side through thick and thin
