COULD I SURRENDER MY HEART ?

CLAIRE 
That’s very gallant of you. Would you do it for any woman?

JAMIE 
Well.... 

It’s time that I was honest,
And the truth at last you knew,
My heirt aye skips a beat, 
When you come into view,

Other lasses have turned my head,
But I had nae mind to wed.
‘Til you entered my life,
I’d nae thoughts of a wife,
But could a new road lie ahead ?
 
Could I take thee Claire to be my lawful wife ?
To only you, could I be true ?
To have and to hold, 
Until by death, we said adieu,
Could I stand by your side,
Stand as man and bride,
Knowing we would never be apart,
For you, could I surrender my heart ?

CLAIRE 
I felt just like a Princess,
When you came to my rescue,
And as the days they passed,
My fondness for you grew,
I’ll admit it never entered my mind,
That again I’d take those ties that bind,
But now a choice I must make,
A new path I must take,
And forget those left behind

But could I agree to be your wedded wife?
To only you, could I be true?
To have and to hold, 
Until by death, we said adieu,
Could I stand by your side?
Stand there as your bride?
Knowing we would never be apart,
For you, could I surrender my heart?

JAMIE 
Dougal left this contract of marriage for us 
I’m ready to sign it but are you?

CLAIRE 
Yes Jamie, I am.
 
JAMIE 
Then, will you wear these pearls ? They belonged to my mother 

CLAIRE 
I’d be proud to wear them.

BOTH 
From this moment we will never be apart,
But for you could I surrender my heart ?
To you could I surrender my heart ?
