	Story Behind the Song This song was written to underscore my love for Melissa. Lyrics © 2003 by Dennis J. Barela Cross My Heart (Barela) When I was younger I could take all the pain I could shake off all the hurt like the rain I could hold all the clouds in my hand I could weather all the storms like a man But you were the one thing who brought this baby down to his knees (Chorus:) Be my weakness, be my best bet Be the diversion that will make me forget Be the shelter that will keep out the rain Be the drug that helps to block out the pain. I’ll be anything you want me to be My desperation’s guaranty And I promise to do my part Cross my heart. I can remember when you caught my eye I guess you could say you took me by surprise ‘Cause up until then my life had been such a mess But now these days I guess you’d call it blessed You were the one girl who taught this stumbling blind man to see So now we’re wishing on a shooting star With tin cans tied to the car Still our friends can’t believe that we made it… this far! You’ve shown me a side of me I never knew Cause my life has meaning all because of you We’re gonna go through this life together And I’ll love you forever So now I make this promise begging you please: © 2003 by Dennis J.
