A Promise Is A Promise

Traces of you, embedded in me 
No eyes ‘round the whole world 
ever could see 
Tangible only through spirit and soul 
Finer than silver, more precious than gold 

Could you grab my hand again, and tell me I could be your man 
Then I would just lay down and die 
No words could be sweeter, oh, how I long to meet her
Again, then bring me back to life 

****** ***, I have a plan 
That only you could understand 
So listen up, I’ll tell you once more 
Let me have the chance to be 
the person that you saw in me 
Return the love, the trust, and support 

I’ll kiss you so sweet 
from your head to your feet 
And I will take the time to hear every word
I’ll make sure to see your love 
And we’ll pray to God above 
He’ll help us get through all the hurt 

Can you make that sacrifice? 
So I can help you realize 
That who I am is not who I’ve been 
I’m sorry for the worst of it 
I choose to bury every bit 
So I can be the best, once again

A promise is a promise
So can I be honest? 
There is not a thing I won’t do 
The air, the sea, a family tree
Is nothing, when not next to you
