Keeping A Promise

Long ago he vowed his love A promise to be true Now as he remembers back through the years He did what he said he'd do He never loved another woman She was the only one He never lived one day in life Ever feeling lonely But now as the years are getting late She's become very sick and fragile Each passing day makes it clear The she's slowly losing the battle She's bedridden because she can no longer walk She spends most days just sleeping Each minute of every day His promise to her he's keeping He will not leave her bedside He sits there holding her hand He made a promise years ago By that promise he's going to stand He told her he'd always be true To her, for all her life He vowed the only one he'd love Would be her, his forever wife So, now as her days grow darker He's right where he belongs Sitting there next to her Listening to her favorite songs 2-5-19/RjH
