It's been so very long

Since you held me in your arms this way

And all this time that you've been gone

I've thought about you each and every day

So now you've returned

And you want to try our love again

But frankly I'm concerned

That you will hurt me

(Hurt me)

Like you did then

What you must do

To prove your love is true

Is give me a guarantee

That you'll love me through and through

Promise me

That this time love will stay

(Love will stay)

Promise me

(Promise me)

That you'll never go away

(Never go away)

Promise me

That this time love won't end

(Love won't end)

Promise me

That I will never cry again

It's been so very long

Since you held me in your arms so tight

And all this time that you've been gone

I've thought about you each and every night

So now you've returned

And you want to try our love again

But frankly I'm concerned

That you will hurt me (Hurt me)

Like you did then

What you must do

To prove your love is true

Is give me a guarantee

That you'll love me through and through

Promise me

That this time love will stay

(Love will stay)

Promise me

(Promise me)

That you'll never go away

(Never go away)

Promise me

That this time love won't end

(Love won't end)

Promise me

That I will never cry again

Will you promise me

Will you promise, promise

Will you promise me

Will you promise, promise

Will you promise me

Will you promise, promise

Will you promise me

Will you promise, promise

Promise me

That this time love will stay

(Love will stay)

Promise me

(Promise me)

That you'll never go away

(Never go away)

Promise me

That this time love won't end

(Love won't end)

Promise me

That I will never cry again

Promise me

That this time love will stay

(Love will stay)

Promise me

(Promise me)

That you'll never go away

(Promise me)

Promise me

That this time love won't end

(Love won't end)

Promise me

That I will never cry ag
