The Promise

I promise you that we'll stay together
Though sometimes
I can't keep my promises,
I promise to cherish our love forever.

My love for you grows stronger
And my heart longs for your love.
Though I'm far, far away,
Deep inside my heart you'll stay.

I promise you one thing
That I'll come back for you.
This love keeps reminding me,
For my heart belongs to you.

I promise to make things better for us.
I know it's not easy to be happy
If we are far from each other always.
I promise we'll be together someday.
