Promise

I felt the chill of the freezing air
                        the shimmering ice made me stop and stare
                        Morning doves sang a melody of hope
                        and something made me realize I can cope

                        An ocean of secrets my heart will keep
                        empty dreams and restless sleep
                        I look above and give it all
                        asking forgiveness for my fall

                        I tried to control and master Fate
                        and somehow forgot to appreciate
                        That beautiful Rose and the Butterfly
                        now fully in view to my naked eye

                        A rush of calm envelops my mind
                        what I must do who I must find
                        I look to the stars and know you are there
                        My journey renewed I am fully aware

                        Hear me speak a new promise for you
                        I still hold everything precious and true
                        But letting it go and believing again
                        Gives us a place we can always begin

                        They can believe what they see and think what they know
                        but what lies in the heart I'll never show
                        Remember my words and hold them deep
                        from your endless valleys to your mountains so steep

                        I will always smile when I think of the past
                        nothing in my heart is too good to last
                        No one knows what the future will hold
                        and you can still love someone with all of your Soul

                        And I do...

                        Close your eyes and feel the light
                        think of me sometimes when you dream at night
                        Our love will live inside of me
                        in the only place where we can be free

                        Let's hold each other close one last time
                        keep this moment for a memory in time
                        Be what we should and endlessly give
                        and loving each other forever...

                        We can really live
