lyrics

The weather is getting colder
There's no life on the trees
You say you're feeling older now
and you can't find any way forward.

But your little heart keeps beating
As it's always done before
And though the feeling might be fleeting
You know that you've got a promise of love.

Promise of love.
Promise of love.
Promise of love.
Don't worry honey you know that you've got a promise of love.

Down South they're getting ready
to give the keys up to the clown
But you're still tall and we stand ready
to somehow make it all better.

It's a notion that you ponder
It's a feeling in your bones
When you can't take it any longer
just hang on tight to your promise of love.

Promise of love.
A little promise of love.
Promise of love.
You can trust it through and through
Let it make you feel brand new.
A Promise of love.

Promise of love.
A promise of love.
Promise of love.
In the end you know it's true
We can make it me and you
with a promise of love.
Sing it walking down the street
Shake your hands and stamp your feet
to a promise of love.
Keep it close or pass it 'round
this little secret that we've found
our promise of love.

A Promise of love.
