The Promise

Life is so unpredictable
People come, people go
Is there anything
that's for sure?
You don't know, I don't know
In a world that you
don't believe in fairy tales
They don't come true
Its good to know
in your time of need
that you've got
Something to hold on to.
I can't promise the moon,
I might just sing out of tune,
But I will always be true
This is my Promise to you
This is my Promise to you
I'll be the light that shines
through your darkest days
The one true voice
that you won't escape
When you're lost
I'll be that familiar face
This is my Promise to you
This is my Promise to you
What becomes of a broken heart?
Where does it go, where does it go
Does it heal or just fall apart
We don't know, I don't know
You can't be afraid to try
When you fall again get up again
All that you need to know is that
You're not alone;
I'll be your friend
I can't Promise the moon,
I might just sing out of tune,
But I will always be true,
This is my Promise to you
This is my Promise to you
I'll be the light that shines
through your darkest day
The one true voice
that you won't escape
When you're lost
I'll be that familiar face
This is my Promise to you
This is my Promise to you
I'll be
the sweet remembrance
of days gone by
If someone comforts you
when you cry
Till the end
I'll be by your side
This is my Promise to you
This is my Promise to you
I don't know what else to do
This is my Promise to you
