[Verse 1]
[Dolly:]
I'll do everything I can to make you proud to be my man
[Ricky Van Shelton:]
And I'll fulfill all your fantasies
[Dolly:]
I guess we're promising a lot, but for now it's all we've got
[Ricky Van:]
And I'll stand by you through our rocking years

[Chorus]
[Both:]
Rocking chairs, rocking babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages
Side by side we'll be together always
[Dolly:]
And if you'll hold me tight when you love me
That's all I'll ask of you
[Both:]
And I'll stand by you through our rocking years

[Verse 2]
[Ricky Van:]
I'll be your friend, I'll be your lover
Until the end, there'll be no other
[Dolly:]
And my heart has only room for one
[Ricky Van:]
Yes, I'll always love you
[Dolly:]
And I'll always be here for you
[Both:]
And I'll stand by you through our rocking years
[Chorus]
[Both:]
Rocking chairs, rocking babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages
Side by side, we'll be together always
[Ricky Van:]
And if you'll hold me tight when you love me
That's all I'll ask of you
[Both:]
And I'll stand by you through our rocking years

[Chorus]
[Both:]
Rocking chairs, rocking babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages
Side by side, we'll be together always
[Dolly:]
And yes I'll always love you
[Ricky Van:]
And I'll always be here for you
[Dolly:]
And I'll stand by you through our rocking years, yes I'll be here
[Both:]
And I'll stand by you, through our rocking years

[Outro]
[Both:]
Through our rocking years
