Lyrics:
Hate to be pedantic
Or too darn romantic
But, gee, these goodbyes
Do things to my eyes
So I hope
That the same old phrase
Still applies

I promise you
A faithful heart
One that has always been free
At night there's a handful of stars
That I pretend belongs to me

I promise you
That rich or poor
I would be happy to share
The arms you have taken possession of

The sun on the meadows
A fire in the shadows
And I promise you
I'll be there

A faithful heart
A star or two
And I'll be there
I promise you


I Promise You

I Promise You
