Promises

Don't worry this isn't a sad song This love story is going great But it had a scary start It's a love song worth the wait The doctor whispered "his heart won't last a day" And your eyes looked like you were slipping away I'd give anything to take your place Drink from your cup, finish your race I can't stop being a dad so soon I can't say goodbye to you yet We haven't done all the things I promised we'd do I'm not ready for the sun to set So I sang you your first love song Filled with promises I couldn't keep Wasn't sure just how long You'd be here with me I have to hear you laugh I need to see you smile I have to feel more of your heartbeats So rest on my chest awhile I'll bend down and whisper in your ear You are brave and I am here Just one pair of footprints in the sand Climb on my back and hold tight to my hand So I sang you your first love song Filled with promises I couldn't keep Wasn't sure just how long You'd be here with me One night I counted 36 shooting stars I wished on every one for more time with you You're an answer to all those wishes So grateful every one came true Lucky for us our kidneys matched I would have given you my heart Our matching scars tell a story of courage They're like brushstrokes on a work of art So I sang you your first love song Filled with promises I couldn't keep Wasn't sure just how long You'd be here with me I trace the freckles on your face A majestic constellation Every breath a gift of grace Your love is my salvation Now we're dancing at the Getty You're my cathedral in morning light Walking hand in hand along the jetty Watching fireworks light up the night Looks like I kept my promise after all So I sang you your first love song Filled with promises I couldn't keep Wasn't sure just how long You'd be here with me So I sang you your first love song Filled with promises I couldn't keep Wasn't sure just how long You'd be here with me
