The Promise

welcome to my life, welcome to my heart

welcome to my soul

let lovin' be our art, happiness our goal

for the rest of time, know your love is mine

and my love is yours

for through the trials of time

the faithful love endures

because I promise you the world

and I'm giving you forever

giving you my love

and leaving you never

from the well we've tapped spring forth happy days

warm and tender nights

we'll build a world of love

a garden of delight

we'll let karma send us a perfect end

to this fairy tale

two hearts that would not bend

a love that would not fail

because I'm giving you my word

that I'm loving you forever

and leaving you never

on the waves of love and the winds of time

we set sail to our lives

though wind and waves grow strong

the strong at heart survive

as the years go past and we come at last

to face our final dawn

when bodies have collapsed

spirits will carry on

because I promise you my love

that love can last forever

giving you my heart

and leaving you never

because I promise you the world

and I'm giving you forever

I'm pledging you my soul

and leaving you never
