Promise
I wake suddenly in the middle of the night,
turn to see you lying by my side.
I want to pull you close to me,
hold you while you dream.
You reached into this lonely soul,
and turned my life around.
You made me see,
what real love can be.
In this world of here and gone,
as cruel as love can be,
will I wake to find you,
still lying next to me.
So promise you will always be,
Beside me through the night,
holding me in your love,
till the morning light.
