The Promise

by Kai

(NOTE: this is such a beautiful song. I hope it touches your heart the way it has touched mine. Enjoy!)

Kai - Promise - Kai

I turn back the hands of time
To see what I've left behind
All the memories within my heart
And deep within my mind
I see all the hardships I've endured
And I'm rest assured
That you'll be there beside me
Like you've always been time and again

And with all that's said and done
You've always been the one
To hold me on those rainy days
When I couldn't see the sun
And when all the clouds disappear
And my skies are clear
I feel your love shining down on me
Without your love
Where would I be?

Chorus1:
You were the one
Who wiped the tears from my eyes
It was your love that gave me life through my darkest times
You were the one
What you've given me I could never repay
All I can give to you is my loving embrace
Cause I live to see the smile upon your face
Day by day

Verse2:
I've promised to go on
Until my race is won
And the knowledge you have given me
I'll give to those I love
And I've learned that if I do succeed
Then I shall receive the promise of a brighter day
You give me hope, you give me faith

Chorus2:
You were the one
Who wiped the tears from my eyes (That's what you've done)
It was your love that gave me life through my darkest times
You were the one
What you've done me I could never repay
So I live my life according to your way
Cause I live to see that smile upon your face
Day, by day

Bridge:
Ooo, your love
It always pulled me through (Oh yeah)
And when I felt all hope was gone
There was always you (Yeah)
Until my dying day in my heart you'll always be
And I'm so thankful for the love you've given me
Now I see (Yeah)

Chorus3:
You were the one
Who wiped the tears from my eyes (You wiped the tears from my eyes)
It was your love that gave me life through my darkest times
You were the one
What you've done for me I could never repay
I won't fail you this I promise you today
Cause I'd die to see the tears come down your face (Oh no)
So I live in you, I will live in your name
The rest of my days

Don't you cry no more...

Oh no, no
