I Promised You Lyrics

Our love took shine in early spring

The flowers bloomed and the robin sang

The summer sun burned clear and bright

And we had our time in the cold sweet night

We took that open road to the end

So sure that love was just 'round the bend

And in that church we both said "I do"

You promised me and I promised you

But rain will come, you can be sure

We felt the hurt so we took the cure

You crushed my heart till it went flat

And that was all to the end of that

The road will have its bumps and its curves

We took to drink for our jangled nerves

The vows we made we tried to renew

You promised me and I promised you

The leaves did fall, the winds blew cold

And what once was young, would soon grow old

Our tempers flared, we grew apart

We broke our vows and we broke our hearts

The snow will fall on the hardest of days

We gave our all to mend our ways

But in the end we both said adieu

You promised me and I promised you
