Promise Lyrics

You say the sun's coming down I should look around And see the things you desire You're standing there so sure Always feeling so secure in love Me, I'm a bird on a wire Now all the facts are here Your intentions so clear You've outlined your grand design You're handing me your life But could you give me some more time Because I'm not quite finished with mine 'Cause all that I wanted All that I ever believed I could be I'm starting to see The things I've been shown I can finally stand on my own Please don't take it from me I don't mean to doubt you see But I've been takin' care of me As long as I can recall It may be a sacrifice But I'll just have to look twice To read the writing on the wall Well I would do anything I'd give anything To see that love just comes and comes and never goes 'Cause all that I wanted All that I ever believed I could be Begins with the love That's contained in a promise And baby you've got it from me Please just take it from me Now the car door's ajar How'd we ever get this far When did things start moving so fast? The boys have been waiting There's no hesitating I wish this one moment could last and last and last 'Cause all that I wanted All that I ever believed I could be I'm starting to see The things I've been shown And I'll never go it alone 'Cause now I understand That all that I want All that I ever believe I will need Is waiting for me by the side of the road Waiting for me to get in Waiting for me to walk through the door Waiting for our life to begin So I give him my hand And he takes it for me
