Promise to keep

Driving down the road Just her and me Laughing Singing Feeling so carefree But the phone rings Her face turns to sorrow She whispers softly "Dad just died", In that moment I knew what she needed Not just a lover But a friend indeed I offered my embrace Let her tears fall Promised her father "I'll take care of it all" Promise to keep Forever in my heart Oh-ooh How I miss her Torn apart I'll honor my words Till the end of days But now she's gone And I'm lost in a haze We faced the nights the long, hard days Found our strength In simple ways But now she's gone I feel the ache A heavy heart A vow I make Promise to keep Forever in my heart Oh-ooh How I miss her Torn apart I'll honor my words Till the end of days But now she's gone And I'm lost in a haze In that moment I felt her break Her quiet pain Her heartbreak I held her close The world stood still A promise made A vow to fulfill Promise to keep Through every storm her memory lives Keeps me warm The love she gave The path she paved I'll carry it all Strong and brave Promise to keep I won't forget Every word No regrets Though she's gone Her light stay Guiding come what may I keep my promise, Step by step. Through every tear, The vow is kept. A love that's strong, A bond so deep, Forever true, A promise to keep (but she's gone).
