Promises

PROMISE THE WORLD, JUST SAY IT'LL BE TOMORROW

     The  riches of Midas you can promise for tomorrow
     Promise that problems will disappear and no more sorrow 

     The sun Up above will forevermore shine
     The table will be full of favorites on which to dine

     The stars in the sky will rearrange to spell someone's name
     All impossibilities can be promised if it is made plain

     To just say TOMORROW before committing to a promise
      For tomorrow never comes so you haven't been dishonest

This came to me while I was mulling over the meaning of "tomorrow"

Haven't you ever heard, "What a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive." Just foolin'. I'm not too big on , Elizabeth. They always seem to get broken.
