promise

you were afraid that you would disappear
that you would be lost and forgotten
i held you tight against the dark and
said that i would always come for you

i will never let you out of my sight
i'll care for you and protect you
from all that you fear and hate
i will never let you shed a tear

when i held your hand and we walked
along the sea into the night
i wished to tell you everything
how i loved you so very much

but there was nothing i could say
not while you smiled the way you do
and your eyes sparkled like that
and i saw myself in your eyes

i am holding you close today
even when you are so far away
i promised i'd never leave you
and i never gonna am
