Promises

I cannot promise you not to cry,

If you were to say that you love me.

I cannot promise you not to cry,

If you were to kiss my lips and show what you mean.

I cannot promise you not to cry,

If you were to hold my hand and show that you care.

I cannot promise you not to cry,

If you were to come into my dreams and awaken all memories.

I am sorry I am such a weakling

That I cannot promise you much.

All I can promise you

Is to open your doors and pull your chairs.

Is to bring you roses and kiss you good night.

All I can promise you

Is to love you

Today, tomorrow and always.
