What Are Words...?

What are words, if you don't really mean them? 
     What are promises, if you don't intend to keep them?
          What is love?





I guess most of you know this song. It is very touching and I have seen people posting this video on Facebook. But, I was surprised that many did not know the story behind the song. So, for those of you who did not know, here is the story:-

Chris Medina's fiancee met with a car accident 2 months before their wedding. She was brain damaged, and she was in a wheelchair (as seen on American Idol). If you have watched that season (Season 10 or Year 2011), he speaks of her with love regardless of her disabilities. That brings so much more meaning to the song (which he had written especially for her).

It is a simple song, yet you can feel so much love, so much sincerity in it. 



What Are Words - Chris Medina
Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close
