The Promise Lyrics

The Promise
K. Kristofferson
A Moment of Forever
CAPO III
INTRO: G A7 C D G D
You gave me back my soul again by showin' me
The laughter and the wonder in your eyes
Saved me from the shuttered man I used to be
Opened up the windows of my life
And the happiness you've given me for lovin' you
Is sweeter, love, and deeper every day
But I can't stop the changes that you're growin' thru
Or someone new from stealin' you away, so darlin'
CHORUS:
When it's time, you can spread your wings
And I'll set you free
To fly away, and it's okay
'cause darlin' time changes everything
But it won't change me
I love you, oh, I love you
Inside of me you'll always be my valentine
I pray your freedom makes your dreams come true
As long as there's a heartbeat in this soul of mine
You'll know there's someone so in love with you, and darlin'
