The Promise
Can't you see a promise just makes us feel good now
Then tomorrow, if we break up, one of us will be asking
How could you do this to me darling
When we promised life a rose
The promises that lovers make are wishful thinking I suppose
How can anyone know if love is forever
Or only for a moment
How can anyone know
Stay with me awhile, it may be a long while
Maybe we'll live together and the years will have their way
One morning we will wake up and one of us will say
How could you do this to me darling
Did you know it from the start
The promises we never made were outlasted by the heart
Can't you see a promise just makes us feel good now
And we grew up with the notion that lovers must take a vow
But I can tell you in this moment as life unfolds each day
The way that we've been making love
I don't want to go away
Then tomorrow, if we break up, one of us will be asking
How could you do this to me darling
When we promised life a rose
The promises that lovers make are wishful thinking I suppose
How can anyone know if love is forever
Or only for a moment
How can anyone know
Stay with me awhile, it may be a long while
Maybe we'll live together and the years will have their way
One morning we will wake up and one of us will say
How could you do this to me darling
Did you know it from the start
The promises we never made were outlasted by the heart
Can't you see a promise just makes us feel good now
And we grew up with the notion that lovers must take a vow
But I can tell you in this moment as life unfolds each day
The way that we've been making love
I don't want to go away
