מילים לשיר Thank You For The Promises – Gordon Lightfoot

Thank you for the promises we make
I know I can't complain
I think I did all right
Only now and then
No failures are in sight
I'd like to reminisce
Do you remember when Even if we're angels we can't ask
To wander through the past
The night is black as coal
The future is our goal
If I could pay the price
I'd like to love you once
Thanks
I'd love to love you twice We cannot say enough
The road is sometimes rough
But we can get along
But we won't be afraid
The going will get tough Of the promises we made
Thank you for the promises you keep
When I am fast asleep
Is all that I can ask
To be where we belong
We can do it in the shade
As long as I have you
And the promises we made If you made a clean mistake
Thank you for the promises we break
Well that's what love's about
The truth is in your eyes
No need to stand and shout
No need to criticize
The answer lies within Thanks
For the promises at hand
The abuse that we must stand
Is often heaven sent
They may not pay the rent
When promises get bent
You never can be sure This is all that I can give
Thank you for the promises that live
Forever in my mind
To leave the past behind
And seal it with a kiss
Forever in my soul
I will remember this.
