The Promise

Arlene Whitney Mulligan

I promised you that I'd be brave 
I promised I'd be strong 
I promised I'd be happy 
when all your pain was gone 
All these things I promised
I'm trying hard to do 
but it's not easy being happy 
when my heart is broken in two
so if some days are lonely 
and I can't sleep at night
will you please come and get me
and take me on a flight 
then we can be together and make everything alright

we'll sing and dance 
and dance some more
as round and round we soar
after all I'm sure God knows 
that's what angels wings are for    
 
we will talk about the good old times
and make everything all right 
we will sing and dance
and dance some more as round and round we soar 
after all I'm sure God knows 
that's what angel wings are for
