The Promise
I can hear the pain in your voice
I can see it in your eyes
Your smile is cloudy
Your mood a bit stormy
You’re the first to admit
That you just don’t care
This is how you appear to be
You used to have a wonderful light
In your eyes
Laughter in your voice
Your smile could lighten up a dimly lit room
Your mood was always like a sunny day
You used to care about everything
This is how I remember you
The pain in your voice will lessen
Your eyes will be bright again
Your smile will widen
Your mood will change like the weather
You will then admit
That you do care
This is how you will be
Maybe not today
Maybe not tomorrow
As time goes by
The sorrow you feel will go away
I promise
I can see it in your eyes
Your smile is cloudy
Your mood a bit stormy
You’re the first to admit
That you just don’t care
This is how you appear to be
You used to have a wonderful light
In your eyes
Laughter in your voice
Your smile could lighten up a dimly lit room
Your mood was always like a sunny day
You used to care about everything
This is how I remember you
The pain in your voice will lessen
Your eyes will be bright again
Your smile will widen
Your mood will change like the weather
You will then admit
That you do care
This is how you will be
Maybe not today
Maybe not tomorrow
As time goes by
The sorrow you feel will go away
I promise
