Verse 1

Let me say this to you, I'll be steadfast and true
And my love will never falter
The sea would crash about us, the waves would lash about us
I'll be your rock of Gibraltar

Verse 2

Sometimes it's hard, when we're both caught off guard
But there's nothing I'd ever alter
The wind could howl round our ears, for the next thousand years
I'd still be your rock of Gibraltar

Bridge 1

Yes, I'll be your rock of Gibraltar
Oh, I'll be your rock of Gibraltar

Verse 3

Well, the best thing I'd done, was to make you the one
I'd walk with down to the altar
And you'd stand by me and together we'd be
That great, steady rock of Gibraltar

Bridge 2

Yes, the great, steady rock of Gibraltar
Oh, the great, steady rock of Gibraltar

Verse 4

Under a big yellow moon, on our honeymoon
I took you on a trip to Malta
And all through the night, well, ya held me so tight
Your great, steady rock of Gibraltar

Bridge 3

Oh, your great, steady rock of Gibraltar
Yeah, your great, steady rock of Gibraltar

Verse 5

Could the powers that be, ever foresee?
That things could so utterly alter
All the plans that we laid, they could soon be betrayed
Betrayed like the rock of Gibraltar

Closing Bridge

Betrayed like the rock of Gibraltar
Yes, betrayed like the rock of Gibra-a-a-a-al-tar
