Thank You for the Promises |
| Thank you for the promises we make |
| I know I can’t complain |
| I think I did all right |
| No failures are in sight |
| Only now and then |
| I’d like to reminisce |
| Do you remember when |
| Even if we’re angels we can’t ask |
| To wander through the past |
| The future is our goal |
| The night is black as coal |
| If I could pay the price |
| I’d like to love you once |
| I’d love to love you twice |
| Thanks |
| We cannot say enough |
| The road is sometimes rough |
| But we can get along |
| The going will get tough |
| But we won’t be afraid |
| Of the promises we made |
| Thank you for the promises you keep |
| When I am fast asleep |
| To be where we belong |
| Is all that I can ask |
| We can do it in the shade |
| As long as I have you |
| And the promises we made |
| Thank you for the promises we break |
| If you made a clean mistake |
| Well that’s what love’s about |
| No need to stand and shout |
| The truth is in your eyes |
| The answer lies within |
| No need to criticize |
| Thanks |
| For the promises at hand |
| The abuse that we must stand |
| Is often heaven sent |
| They may not pay the rent |
| You never can be sure |
| When promises get bent |
| Thank you for the promises that live |
| This is all that I can give |
| Forever in my mind |
| To leave the past behind |
| And seal it with a kiss |
| Forever in my soul |
| I will remember this |
