I Promise You

I promise you I will be here forever
Or at least as long as there is breath
I promise you the moon and stars every night
For I can make you think they are yours
The rain and the sun are made for you alone
I give you clouds in which to hide your tears
You know my love can calm your fears
I promise I will love you till death
And I promise I will not forget your name

When the end finally comes and heaven claims my soul
I want yours to be the last face I see
For then I'll know I've kept my promise to you
I have loved you for as long as you would let me
I have kept the ember glowing all this time
And sometimes I know I was alone in that task
But I did not mind for I'd promised you
And promises I make are not made lightly
For mine is the only true love you'll ever know
And I promise I will never forget your name
