The Promise

If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've travelled far
I always hold a place for you
In my heart
If you think of me
If you miss me once in a while
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart

Chorus-

Remembering your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way
Back to you
If you'll be waiting

2nd verse-

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel
The beating of your heart

(chorus)

I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

(chorus)

3rd verse-

Please say you'll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be in your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come to you
If you wait for me
And say you'll hold
A place for me
In your heart
