Kris Kristofferson The Promise Lyrics

The Promise Lyrics

You gave me back my soul again by showin’ me
The laughter and the wonder in your eyes
Saved me from the shuttered man I used to be
Opened up the windows of my life

And the happiness you’ve given me for lovin’ you
Is sweeter love and deeper every day
I can’t stop the changes that you’re growin’ through
Or someone new from stealin’ you away

Chorus:
So darlin’ when it’s time you can spread your wings
And I’ll set you free - to fly away - and it’s ok
Cause darlin’ time changes everything
But it won’t change me
I love you - oh... I love you

Inside of me you’ll always be my valentine
I pray your freedom makes your dreams come through
As long as there’s a heartbeat in this soul of mine
You’ll know there’s someone so in love with you

Chorus:
So darlin’ when it’s time you can spread your wings
And I’ll set you free - to fly away - and it’s ok
Cause darlin’ time changes everything
But it won’t change me
I love you - oh... I love you
