with you

When our eyes met that fateful night
As as I made my way across the room
I was wondering what I could do to show you
That I wanted my promise to be forever with you

Last night in the quiet when our day was through
I listened to you sleeping and stayed awake by you
Remembering all the feelings I had
A smile came across my face as I pictured you
Sitting by the window in the hall or
Laughing with the children at the little thing you saw
Softly I whispered, to not disturb your slumber,
That my promise was forever with you

Kneeling by your bedside, tears rolling off my cheeks
The time has come for us to part,
I continue to hold your hand as I did on that fateful night
To show you that my promise is forever with you
