Promise


Promise me you will never leave

Even when my hair is gray

When my bones are frail

Tell me you will still love me

 

Until death do us part

Made us so eager to take on life 

Then we vowed and locked our souls into place

For a million years, and threw the key away

 

A million years we thought only to be heaven

But as the sun went down and the light started to fade

A lifetime of back and forth, up and down

We promised, we vowed to hold tight

 

No doubts no regrets, no thoughts in the back of our heads

We've brought lives into this world

Waiting for the sun to rise

But not even a life can bring back the light

 

I promised, and so did you

You told me you would never leave

So don't go when we're fourty-five

Then our children won't have to suffer

 

Please come home, i love you more

Please don't go, please stay

Please promise me

Just promise
