Speaking with Songfacts about this song in a 2011 interview, McCain said that though the track was not intended as a love song he is happy its become such a popular wedding song. He said: "The fact that people use 'I'll Be' for their weddings, and weddings don't have an expiration. Every year there are weddings. I'm not associated with the '90s, I'm associated with weddings.

I'll Be Lyrics

[00:10.52] The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
[00:16.03] Stop me and steal my breath
[00:21.22] And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
[00:26.72] Never revealing their depth
[00:31.69] And tell me that we belong together
[00:37.42] And dress it up with the trappings of love
[00:42.03] I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
[00:47.58] Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
[00:54.24]
[00:58.26] And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
[01:03.92] I'll be love's suicide
[01:08.63] And I'll be better when I'm older
[01:14.59] I'll be the greatest fan of your life
[01:22.82]
[01:29.89] And rain falls angry on the tin roof
[01:35.01] As we lie awake in my bed
[01:40.34] And you're my survival, you're my livin' proof
[01:45.66] My love is alive and not dead
[01:50.76] And tell me that we belong together
[01:56.79] And dress it up with the trappings of love
[02:01.33] I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
[02:06.89] Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
[02:17.28] And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
[02:23.27] I'll be love's suicide
[02:27.73] And I'll be better when I'm older
[02:33.84] I'll be the greatest fan of your life
[02:42.75] And I dropped out, I burned up
[02:45.98] I fought my way back from the dead
[02:50.03]
[02:54.06] Tuned in and turned on
[02:56.19] Remembered the thing that you, you said
[03:04.15]
[03:09.38] And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
[03:14.93] I'll be love's suicide
[03:19.56] And I'll be better when I'm older
[03:25.20] I'll be the greatest fan of your...
[03:29.97] I'll be your cryin' shoulder
[03:35.78] I'll be love's suicide
[03:40.02] And I'll be better when I'm older
[03:45.87] I'll be the greatest fan of your life
[03:53.25]
[03:58.30] The greatest fan of your life
[04:05.56]
