A hand to hold when things look down

And no one seems to care

A shoulder that is strong enough

For the burdens we must bear

A dream that reaches far and wide

So both of us can dare

A promise I will love and bide

That's all I have to share



A chance to sail among the stars

That few will ever see

To feel the deepest missing you

That most think cannot be

A heart that beats for only one

And loves you fast and true

A promise I will love and bide

That's all I have for you



These things I have to give to you

Their value isn't much

Just things that you can barely see

And rarely ever touch

A hand to hold when we're alone

And no one seems to care

A gentle touch to reassure

And tell you I'm still there

I try my best to reminisce

Our dreams that all came true

A promise I will love and bide

That's all I have for you



My promise I will love and bide

This I give to you
