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
|
