Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot – Thank You For The Promises

Thank you for the promises we make
I know I can’t complain
I think I did all right
No failures are in sight

Thanks
We cannot say enough
The road is sometimes rough
But we can get along
The going will get tough
But we won’t be afraid
Of the promises we made

Thank you for the promises you keep
When I am fast asleep
To be where we belong
Is all that I can ask
We can do it in the shade
As long as I have you
And the promises we made

Thank you for the promises we break
If you made a clean mistake

Thanks
For the promises at hand
The abuse that we must stand
Is often heaven sent
They may not pay the rent
You never can be sure
When promises get bent

Thank you for the promises that live
This is all that I can give
Forever in my mind
To leave the past behind
And seal it with a kiss
Forever in my soul
I will remember this
