You Promised Me

You promised me, was in despair But, you had other things to care You told me you could not adjourn I waited, you showed no concern Hope those regrets you could repair. Hold me in arms when end is near You keep my wish in your prayer Time we lost will never return You promised me. Make death a beautiful affair I shall rest in peace with no fear Such a blissful end I do yearn Though my life turned out little stern I trust your love, will you be there? You promised me.
