The Promise Lyrics

Here's a little story about two dear friends

Looking at this life from a single lens

He fell in love but he had to cry

When she told him she had to fly

He gave her a kiss to swear she'd return

She said wipe them tears don't let them burn

Don't give up hope or feel regret

Cause the best hasn't happened yet

It started out like another boring old day

Except he's turning over life here in Cold Lake

All the memories are flooding back for old sake

In the days of his youth when life was so great

He finally found a job in a place of importance

It was like deja vu walking into Tim Hortons

Overwhelmed by a slight sense of distortion

He gets a little lost in the midst of performance

That's when he thought the world had quickly stopped

Someone so gorgeous that his jaw had dropped

He felt time grab him by the hands of a clock

As both their eyes met and they suddenly locked

He felt his heart pound to the back of his head

Frozen on the spot like the unthawed bread

A couple shifts done till he finally said

Can you chill when our last fresh check's read

Here's a little story about two dear friends

Looking at this life from a single lens

He fell in love but he had to cry

When she told him she had to fly

He gave her a kiss to swear she'd return

She said wipe them tears don't let them burn

Don't give up hope or feel regret

Cause the best hasn't happened yet

He knew he liked her, but unable to phrase it

The stakes were too high, was he able to raise it

Why couldn't he work up the nerve to face shit

He felt his chances go as each day slipped

Waking up sick like he's catching blues

When he got to work to hear those saddening news

Heart's strung like it's on a sagging noose

Can an athlete run when he's lacking shoes

She looked in his eyes without saying a word

No sense in talking cause his speech was slurred

He knew her time came which left him disturbed

It's hard to believe, why is life absurd

He couldn't comprehend he was losing a friend

It was hard to pretend but he knew time would mend

All his prayers crashed like they hit a dead end

Write a song in pen in hopes stars would bend

Here's a little story about two dear friends

Looking at this life from a single lens

He fell in love but he had to cry

When she told him she had to fly

He gave her a kiss to swear she'd return

She said wipe them tears don't let them burn

Don't give up hope or feel regret

Cause the best hasn't happened yet

Woke up in the morning to a text on his phone

She asked for a ride to where the bus was going

Day off or not he knew the moment's shown

Driving till he redlined, was the gasket blown

Coming from the North all the way to four wing

His mind was racing and his heart was soaring

This was his call he wasn't ignoring

He had to be strong or tears would be pouring

Got to the inn with minutes to spare

He got out her bags as silence filled the air

She held him very close much to their despair

Then gave him a kiss to let him know she cared

Months have gone by since those memorable weeks

Her amazing smile that gave red to his cheeks

Here's to Rosanna a spot his heart keeps

Wishing he'd made her stay and made the bus leave

Here's a little story about two dear friends

Looking at this life from a single lens

He fell in love but he had to cry

When she told him she had to fly

He gave her a kiss to swear she'd return

She said wipe them tears don't let them burn

Don't give up hope or feel regret

Cause the best hasn't happened yet

Here's a little story about two dear friends

Looking at this life from a single lens

He fell in love but he had to cry

When she told him she had to fly

He gave her a kiss to swear she'd return

She said wipe them tears don't let them burn

Don't give up hope or feel regret

Cause the best hasn't happened yet
