A promise of LOVE.....................
I can't promise you roses,
which bloom of brilliant red
but I promise, when you need me
I will catch the tears you shed
I can't promise you perfection
for perfection I am not
I am like the red rose
thorns are all I've got
I can't promise you wealth
with money to shower away
the old pains that engulf you
I can give you my love each day
I can't promise you the stars
for they are out of my reach
but I can show you how to walk
gently along the beach
I can't promise total happiness
and never a tear in your eye
but I can give you my word
that in every way I’ll try
I can't promise eternal life
for this is not mine to give
but I can promise you something
to love you while we live
I can promise you love
For this is how I feel
For now I ask the question
As I, next to you knee
