A hand to hold when things look down
And no one seems to care
A shoulder that is strong enough
For the burdens we must bear
A dream that reaches far and wide
So both of us can dare
A promise I will love and bide
That's all I have to share
A chance to sail among the stars
That few will ever see
To feel the deepest missing you
That most think cannot be
A heart that beats for only one
And loves you fast and true
A promise I will love and bide
That's all I have for you
These things I have to give to you
Their value isn't much
Just things that you can barely see
And rarely ever touch
A hand to hold when we're alone
And no one seems to care
A gentle touch to reassure
And tell you I'm still there
I try my best to reminisce
Our dreams that all came true
A promise I will love and bide
That's all I have for you
My promise I will love and bide
This I give to you
