Thank You For The Promises Lyrics – Gordon Lightfoot

Thank You For The Promises Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Thank you for the promises we make
I know I can’t complain
I think I did all right
No failures are in sight

Only now and then
I’d like to reminisce
Do you remember when
Even if we’re angels we can’t ask

To wander through the past
The future is our goal
The night is black as coal
If I could pay the price

I’d like to love you once
I’d love to love you twice
Thanks
We cannot say enough

The road is sometimes rough
But we can get along
The going will get tough
But we won’t be afraid

Of the promises we made
Thank you for the promises you keep
When I am fast asleep
To be where we belong

Is all that I can ask
We can do it in the shade
As long as I have you
And the promises we made

Thank you for the promises we break
If you made a clean mistake
Well that’s what love’s about
No need to stand and shout

The truth is in your eyes
The answer lies within
No need to criticize
Thanks

For the promises at hand
The abuse that we must stand
Is often heaven sent
They may not pay the rent

You never can be sure
When promises get bent
Thank you for the promises that live
This is all that I can give

Forever in my mind
To leave the past behind
And seal it with a kiss
Forever in my soul

I will remember this
