I have always loved this song, but I haven't heard it in a while. When my computer decided to bless me with it, I knew immediately that I needed to blog about it. Regina Bell, Glenn Lewis - thank you.
"Now I am standing here, where I wanna
be with you right next to me. And soon a
simple word or two will mark this special day and send us on our way into a
world where I'm not scared to say I do. I
do believe my dreams are safe with you."
It appears that a couple is standing at the end of an aisle awaiting a
ceremony that will forever connect them in a lifelong commitment. The man is saying that he is with the one he
wants and that they are connecting in a way that has empowered him to trust and
open up in this sacred space of love.
"From now on I give you my love. I offer my hand and the joy in my soul. From now on my heart will be whole. And over and over I fall. I surrender all, all of my life from now on." I love this chorus. It states that from this moment, a declaration of love and commitment are being made. While they have been connected before, it is this moment of declaration that seals it and makes it secure for both people involved. In such a space of mutual care and commitment, healing of the heart can indeed take place, because there is trust that this space will be there to provide for them both. In order for such a space to work, both parties have to agree and be vulnerable, surrendering fear, ego, pride, and all the things that keep us from truly connecting. Yet, despite the scary nature of such a step, when it is entered into together, it can create a space for deep love that can do nothing but grow deeper as the two walk together.
"Now I will promise you every breath I breathe will keep you close to me. So close that deep inside you'll know if ever we're apart, the love will light the dark, and bring it back to the night of our first kiss and back to tender moments just like this." The woman is promising that as long as she breathes, she will be close to her love, because her life and love have become one. They are so connected that even when they don’t occupy the same space, they can reminisce on shared moments and be reconnected and reunited in their love. Their love has the power to bring them back together no matter what they may face (together or separate), bringing light and power to their lives as they strive to walk through life together.

"Ooh, we will be together from now
on. From now on, baby, it's you and I
forever. From now on, here where we
belong." In this ending piece to
the song, they declare together that they will be joined forever. They are declaring that they will be
connected and committed, knowing that they belong together.
