Promise Me

Stick  with  me through the thicks and thins 
Through  the obstacles that life brings 
Taking on this world by storm, should be you and me 

Promise me 
As ashes are blown directly into my eyes 
You wouldn't go off my sight 
As the weights of this world weigh me down 
 As sickness reduces my strength , you will always be mine 
 
If poverty may swept me off
And life lead me not 
Promise me you will always be around 

When I'm short of words to express my feelings for you 
Fill my mouth with your lips 
So after a deep kiss your heart will be filled with peace 
When I can't walk upright, promise, me you will be my walking stick 

When I get too busy to pick your calls 
I get too busy to reply yours messages
Promise me you will still feel the same for me


I'm not a saint and will never be
I'm not perfect and will never try to be 
I won't give heaven on earth 
When we tie the knot promise me we will never depart 

When we walk down the aisle 
Before God and man 
And take the eternal vow
Promise me you will always be there 
In sickness and in health 
to have and to hold 
from this day forward, 
for better, for worse, 
for richer, for poorer, 
in sickness and health,
 until death do us part

PROMISE ME
