Lyrics Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson

The Promise

You gave me back my soul again by showin' me

the laughter and the wonder in your eyes

saved me from the shuttered man I used to be

opened up the windows of my life

And the happiness you've given me for lovin' you

is sweeter love and deeper every day

I can't stop the changes that you're growin' through

or someone new from stealin' you away

So darlin' when it's time you can spread your wings

and I'll set you free - to fly away - and it's ok

cause darlin' time changes everything

but it won't change me

I love you - oh... I love you

Inside of me you'll always be my valentine

I pray your freedom makes your dreams come through

as long as there's a heartbeat in this soul of mine

you'll know there's someone so in love with you

So darlin' when it's time you can spread your wings

and I'll set you free - to fly away - and it's ok

cause darlin' time changes everything

but it won't change me

I love you - oh... I love you
