It's been so very long

Since you held me in your arms this way

And all this time that you've been gone

I've thought about you each and every day



So now you've returned

And you want to try our love again

But frankly I'm concerned

That you will hurt (Hurt me) like you did then



What you must do

To prove your love is true

Is give me a guarantee

That you'll love me through and through



Promise me

That this time love will stay (Love will stay)

Promise me (Promise me)

That you'll never go away (Never go away)



Promise me

That this time love won't end (Love won't end)

Promise me

That I will never cry again



It's been so very long

Since you held me in your arms so tight

And all this time that you've been gone

I've thought about you each and every night



So now you've returned

And you want to try our love again

But frankly I'm concerned

That you will hurt (Hurt me) like you did then



What you must do

To prove your love is true

Is give me a guarantee

That you'll love me through and through



Promise me

That this time love will stay (Love will stay)

Promise me (Promise me)

That you'll never go away (Never go away)



Promise me

That this time love won't end (Love won't end)

Promise me

That I will never cry again



Will you promise me

Will you promise, promise

Will you promise me

Will you promise, promise



Will you promise me

Will you promise, promise

Will you promise me

Will you promise, promise



Promise me

That this time love will stay (Love will stay)

Promise me (Promise me)

That you'll never go away (Never go away)



Promise me

That this time love won't end (Love won't end)

Promise me

That I will never cry again



Promise me

That this time love will stay (Love will stay)

Promise me (Promise me)

That you'll never go away (Promise me)



Promise me

That this time love won't end (Love won't end)

Promise me 

That I will never cry again
