Hate to be pedantic, or too darn romantic
But gee, these goodbyes do things to my eyes
So I hope that the same old phrase still applies....

I promise you a faithful heart
One that has always been free
At night there's a handful of stars
That I pretend belong to me

I promise you that rich or poor
I would be happy to share
The arms you have taken possession of
The sun on the meadow, afire in the shadow
I promise you I'll be there

A faithful heart, a star or two
And I'll be there, I promise you

I promise you

I would be happy to share
The arms you have taken possession of
The sun on the meadow, afire in the shadow
I promise you I'll be there

A faithful heart, a star or two
And I'll be there, I promise you
