I don’t promise, always sunshine

Always blue skies, bed of roses to lay on

I don’t promise constant laughter

Happy ever after, stuff that fairy tales are made of

But I promise to you my trust

Words to love to lift you up

A faithful friend to the end

On this you can depend

I promise

I don’t promise only pleasure

Days of leisure, no more hard times, hereafter

I don’t promise unfading beauty, shapely body, skin of satin

To gaze on

But I promise to you my hand

A heart that will understand

A companion through the years

Therе to dry your tears

I promise, I promise

I promisе when the world seems dark and cold

And it’s hard to break a smile

I’ll be there just sit with you

And listen for a while

I don’t promise, earthly riches

Diamond ditches, cloaks of leather

To clothe you

I don’t promise ivory towers, velvet flowers, stuff that make believe Is made of

But I promise when my hair turns grey

And we come to the end of our day

You’ll find me there by your side

On this you can rely

I promise

I promise

I promise

I promise
