Promises

Copyright 2011 / Michael E. Lynch

I don’t hear your country music
Or get flowers and red wine
Pouring rain, or a new last name
Could never wash you off my mind

We took an oath, when we were kids
Til death do us part
All the precious little memories
Keep tearing at my heart

So many things, that I still want to say
Promises, we said that we would never break
It’s supposed to be me and you,
there’s nothing I wouldn’t do,
To have you back today

I stand here looking in the mirror
At all the emptiness, I face
But one of these days, I know we’ll meet again
At a different time and a better place

The willow weeps beside our window
Your dog still sits right by the door
I guess she thinks you’re coming home soon
Like so many hundred times before.

So many things, that I still want to say
Promises, we said that we would never break
It’s supposed to be me and you,
there’s nothing I wouldn’t do,
To have you here today

Bridge:

You fought so hard, every day these past two years
If I could only turn the hour glass, the heartache, and the fear
I know you took every last breath that you could
To tell me that I’ll be all right, just like I knew you would

Short Solo

So many things, that I still want to say
Promises, we said that we would never break
It’s supposed to be me and you,
there’s nothing I wouldn’t do,
To have you home today
