Lightfoot Gordon Thank You For The Promises Lyrics

Thank You For The Promises Lyrics

Thank you for the promises we make

 I know I can't complain

 I think I did all right

 No failures are in sight

 Only now and then

 I'd like to reminisce

 Do you remember when

 

 Even if we're angels we can't ask 

 To wander through the past

 The future is our goal

 The night is black as coal

 If I could pay the price

 I'd like to love you once

 I'd love to love you twice

 

 Thanks

 We cannot say enough

 The road is sometimes rough

 But we can get along

 The going will get tough 

 But we won't be afraid 

 Of the promises we made

 

 Thank you for the promises you keep

 When I am fast asleep

 To be where we belong

 Is all that I can ask

 We can do it in the shade

 As long as I have you

 And the promises we made

 

 Thank you for the promises we break

 If you made a clean mistake

 Well that's what love's about

 No need to stand and shout

 The truth is in your eyes

 The answer lies within

 No need to criticize

 

 Thanks 

 For the promises at hand

 The abuse that we must stand

 Is often heaven sent

 They may not pay the rent

 You never can be sure

 When promises get bent

 

 Thank you for the promises that live

 This is all that I can give

 Forever in my mind 

 To leave the past behind

 And seal it with a kiss

 Forever in my soul

 I will remember this
