A/N: I decided there weren't enough country songfics. So here's another one. I don't own Rent or Making Memories of Us. They belong to Jonathan Larson and Keith Urban.
I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard.
I wanna sleep with you forever
and I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin in the meadow where the wild beast swarms
"I look at you Mark, my beautiful wonderful Mark, and my heart swells. I promise you that I'm going to be here for you. I'll always hold up to that. I'm a man of my word. I'll be here in bed with you, every night that I can. The times going to come, and I'm going to die, but when it happens I want it to be in your arms. I don't want to be in a hospital either. We should move to the country, somewhere where we can live by a meadow, and watch the deer and the antelope play. That's where I want to die, and you have to be right there beside me Mark."
And I'm going to love you, like nobody loves you,
and I'll earn your trust making memories of us.
"I love you, and I'll always love. I love you like no one ever has. Not Maureen, not Nannette, no one. You might not trust me about that, but you will. I promise you, I'll earn your trust. We're going to have memories, and they'll be of just us. You can even bring your annoying camera along for the ride."
I wanna honor your mother, and I wanna learn from your paw
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
And I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
a man among men. I wanna make your world better then it's ever been.
"You know, I think I want to meet your parents. Well, you know what I mean. I've met them, but I want to meet them as your boyfriend. Don't worry, I'll be nice to your mom. Even your dad! I'll be nice, and I'll honor them. I want to be able to just steal your mind away from anything, even filming. I want you to love me enough to be able to find me in a huge crowd. I'm going to make you so happy, as happy as I can. I want you to have the best life you can have, especially the part where I'm in it."
And I'm going to love you, like nobody loves you,
and I'll earn your trust making memories of us.
"I already said this, but I love you. Hell, maybe even more then your parents love you. I know for sure I know you better then they do. You know, you can't just always have memories from your camera. Maybe I won't let you take that thing with us when we move the cabin. Then you'll just have to rely on your memory."
We'll follow the rainbow, wherever the four winds blow.
There'll be a new day, coming your way.
I'm gonna be here for you from now on.
This you know some how, You've stretched to the limits but it's alright now.
"You know that old saying, follow the rainbow? Maybe we should try it. Go wherever the four winds blow. There's going to be a whole new life for you, now that you've got me. It's coming your way Marky. I'm gonna be here all the time. Your never gonna be free from me. I bet you've realized that by now huh? You know it, somehow. You know, everything is alright now. I don't care what you've gone through, everything is alright now."
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this.
I'm going to meet you with a warm, wet kiss.
"You know, I wonder what'll happen when I die. I wonder what's after this life. If there is something else, I'm going to wait for you. I don't care that your Jewish and I'm atheist. Somehow, I'm going to find you. If there is something, I'm going to wait for you and when I see you I'm going to meet you with a kiss. I won't even ask if you've found someone else, and I won't care cause I'm selfish. I'll kiss you even if you've gotten married since then."
And I'm going to love you, like nobody loves you,
and I'll earn your trust making memories of us.
"I love you Mark, and now I'm going to let you sleep. Wait, are you even awake?! Mark! You slept through my whole long speech about how much I love you! I can't believe it! Sheesh. No I'm not going to repeat myself. Just go back to sleep. I might tell you in the morning. Maybe. Dang Jew. Hey! Ouch! I was just kidding. Go to sleep babe. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
And I'm going to love you, like nobody loves you,
and I'll earn your trust making memories of us.
