## Caption

It has been so awesome to share more of myself this year with all of you, and this video is perhaps one of the most special and personal I've shared with you yet—as many of you know, I got married in April to the amazing Casey Breves, and wanted to share a little bit of that day with you because I really do consider you, the #Samily, to be a kind of family that means so much to me—please enjoy this virtual invitation to our wedding, and the single we wrote to accompany it—it's an anthem about the power and timelessness of love. Sending our love out to the whole Samily!

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1: Sam Tsui, *Casey Breves*]

Breathe in the moment

We are sending out a message: this love

Hear for a second just a sentence in the story of us

A sentence in the story of us

*Your hand in mine and we are running like two flickering lights*

*Out past this moment, we are flying through the days and the nights*

*Flying through the days and the nights*

[Pre-Chorus 1: Sam Tsui, *Casey Breves*]

I'm trying to keep this image I see

I know we can't stay there

*But still I believe that this you and me*

*Will always be somewhere*

[Chorus 1: Sam Tsui, **Both**]

'Cause I swear

**That when "forever" fades into a memory**

**Nothing will ever take, take you away from me**

**This promise of mine is a promise in time**

**And as we're looking back on who we used to be**

**With everything I am, I swear you'll always see**

**This promise of mine is a promise in time**

[Verse 2: Sam Tsui, *Casey Breves*]

*There still it's over 'til the morning raise the first ray of sun*

*Just hold me close, you know the road we're on has only begun*

*The road we're on has only begun*

All the people we've become and those we've yet to be somehow

I want to show them just how beautiful you look in through my eyes right now

If they could look through my eyes somehow

[Pre-Chorus 2: Sam Tsui, *Casey Breves*, **Both**]

*I'm trying to keep, this image I see*

**I know we can** *stay there* (Stay there)

But still I believe that **this you and me**

Will always be somewhere (Somewhere)

[Chorus 2: **Both**]

**'Cause I swear**
**That when "forever" fades into a memory**

**Nothing will ever take, take you away from me**

**This promise of mine is a promise in time**

**And as we're looking back on who we used to be**

**With everything I am, I swear you'll always see**

**This promise of mine is a promise in time**

[Bridge: Sam Tsui, *Casey Breves*, **Both**]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh

Woah, wo-a-oh

Woah, wo-a-oh

**Woah, wo-a-oh**

**Woah, wo-a-oh**

**Woah, wo-a-oh** (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh)

**Woah, wo-a-oh** (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh) (This promise of mine, *this promise of mine*)

**Woah wo-a-oh**

**Woah wo-a-oh (This promise)**

[Chorus 3: Sam Tsui, *Casey Breves*, **Both**]

**'Cause I swear**

**That when "forever" fades into a memory**

**Nothing will ever take, take you away from me**

**This promise of mine** (this promise of mine) **is a promise in time (whoa-oh)**

**And as we're looking back, on who we used to be** (*ahh*) (used to be)

**With everything I am, I swear you'll always see**

**This promise of mine** (This promise of mine)

**Is a promise in time** (Time)

[Outro: Sam Tsui, *Casey Breves*, **Both**]

*That when "forever" fades into a memory*

*Nothing will ever take, take you away from me*

*This promise of mine* (*This promise of mine*)

*Is a promise in time* (This promise)
