Promise of Love

Their dreams filled their heads As they drove up the hill To the orphanage, they hoped and prayed For a child that laid Swaddled and warm In a crib, to bring home on this day But a little bit older, The child seemed cold Yet a smile was worn on his face So the couple agreed To love and to feed This child they’ll take from this place And though they have nothing No money in the bank No brand new house But to the child they’ll give a home As parents they swear To give all love and to care To treat this child as if was their own The dark of the night And the child he cried A burning horrible wail She’s a mother now And ran to his side Her loving was not meant to fail She took and she held So tight, bosom swelled As he hushed and fell back asleep He’s her child now So much love to allow Her son, forever to keep And though they have nothing No money in the bank No brand new house But to the child they’ll give a home As parents they swear To give all love and to care To treat this child as if was their own He is a man now With a wife of his own Yet barren as his mom and his dad To the car they had gone A new road they’re now on To the place he was as a lad They plan to adopt To share all they’ve got Though nothing they have to their name But it’s love that they’ll give For a child to live To grow happy and love just the same And though they have nothing No money in the bank No brand new house But to the child they’ll give a home As parents they swear To give all love and to care To treat this child as if was their own
