Lyrics
The Promise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here we are; what I hope is just the middle
Of the promise that we made when we were young
And maybe just a little naïve
Here we go; so many thousand nights from our beginning
Before we knew the meaning of the word
We still believe love is all you need
A little wiser now with age
A better definition of love;
CHORUS:
And in the end may it be said of us
And of this love we share
We were tried and true
And we danced to the song of our Maker
That is my desire; this is my prayer
Chances are we won't cross the finish line together
I want to love you so you'll miss me if I'm gone
And this flame will leave a smile upon your face
And love you so you can't recall the valleys for the mountains
That grace will overwhelm any years
That cannot be undone by time and space
A little wiser now with age
A better definition of love
And in the end may it be said of us
And of this love we share
We were tried and true
And we danced to the song of our Maker
That is my desire; this is my prayer
We were tried and true We dance to the song of our Maker
That is my desire; this is my prayer
