This I Can Promise

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart’s devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that’s ever true and ever growing;
A steady hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

No one can say what lies out in the future,
And there’s no way of turning back the years,
But we can fill each day with love and kindness,
And wake up every morning without fears.

And so I promise all my heart’s devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that’s ever true and ever growing;
A steady hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

A love that’s ever true and ever growing;
A steady hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.
