Words and Music by Judith Hanlon, @1999
The sages and wise ones say life is ephemeral That things come and go and that's just how it is They tell us that love rarely goes on forever The future won't find us just as this day is.
Death makes its visit as sure as the sunrise Doors always close on some work and some friends. Triumphs and heartaches are life's strange bedfellows Chapters start fresh, but they always must end.
But, a promise, a promise Oh, what's in a promise It weaves through all changes intent on its goal A promise, a promise What is in a promise A vow is a fire to warm human souls
Let us sing life's song in full orchestration Harmonies simply can't be played alone With doubles and couplets and joined single voices A duet is formed, and a Covenant born.
Someday when joy's light does not grace the morning The grayness of platitudes invade the day. Let's promise to then sign the song that we now sing And seek not to part but find how to stay.
A promise, a promise Oh, what's in a promise.... A vow is a fire to warm human souls A promise, a promise what is in a promise....
So mundane, such ecstasy So earthbound such spirit A prison that sets you free The substance of future So human, so holy And the faith to believe Download instructions: Right click on the song title and click "SAVE AS" and save it to your computer to listen .
