The Promise

welcome to my life, welcome to my heart
 welcome to my soul
 let lovin' be our art, happiness our goal
 for the rest of time, know your love is mine
 and my love is yours
 for through the trials of time
 the faithful love endures
 because I promise you the world
 and I'm giving you forever
 giving you my love
 and leaving you never
 from the well we've tapped spring forth happy days
 warm and tender nights
 we'll build a world of love
 a garden of delight
 we'll let karma send us a perfect end
 to this fairy tale
 two hearts that would not bend
 a love that would not fail
 because I'm giving you my word
 that I'm loving you forever
 and leaving you never
 on the waves of love and the winds of time
 we set sail to our lives
 though wind and waves grow strong
 the strong at heart survive
 as the years go past and we come at last
 to face our final dawn
 when bodies have collapsed
 spirits will carry on
 because I promise you my love
 that love can last forever
 giving you my heart
 and leaving you never
 because I promise you the world
 and I'm giving you forever
 I'm pledging you my soul
 and leaving you never
