| A promise your child says forever
|
| Your child says whatever may come will come through
|
| And who can know how when all I know now to be true
|
| Is this promise that I made to you
|
| A question your child wonders whether
|
| The two stay together the way that they stay
|
| For year after year for love or for fear either way
|
| That’s the promise that I made that day
|
| Here’s what I say to the girl who was burning so brightly
|
| Like the light from Orion above
|
| And still I will search for her nightly if you see her please send her my love
|
| And the girl was a girl for all seasons
|
| That girl is long lost to me now
|
| And your child has forgotten her reasons
|
| But your child still remembers her vow
|
| A promise your child says forever
|
| Your child says I’ll never regret or let you
|
| The promise I made to stay and I stay true
|
| Knowing each day we’ll move on from the loss
|
| We can live for the now while we carry the past
|
| Till we do, the promise I made I’ll make it brand new
|
| The promise that I made to you |
