Thank You For The Promises Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Thank You For The Promises Lyrics

    Thank you for the promises we make
    I know i can't complain
    I think i did all right
    No failures are in sight
    Only now and then
    I'd like to reminisce
    Do you remember when
    Even if we're angels we can't ask
    To wander through the past
    The future is our goal
    The night is black as coal
    If i could pay the price
    I'd like to love you once
    I'd love to love you twice

    Thanks
    We cannot say enough
    The road is sometimes rough
    But we can get along
    The going will get tough
    But we won't be afraid
    Of the promises we made

    Thank you for the promises you keep
    When i am fast asleep
    To be where we belong
    Is all that i can ask
    We can do it in the shade
    As long as i have you
    And the promises we made

    Thank you for the promises we break
    If you made a clean mistake
    Well that's what love's about
    No need to stand and shout
    The truth is in your eyes
    The answer lies within
    No need to criticize

    Thanks
    For the promises at hand
    The abuse that we must stand
    Is often heaven sent
    They may not pay the rent
    You never can be sure
    When promises get bent

    Thank you for the promises that live
    This is all that i can give
    Forever in my mind
    To leave the past behind
    And seal it with a kiss
    Forever in my soul
    I will remember this
