Does love promise
Does love promise smiles? So
madly it beguiles
But what happens when love
goes through trials?
Does love promise a sunset? Hop
a flight to Vegas on a fast jet
But what about the days when the
smell of happiness goes pungent?
Does love promise to mend?
When you accidentally offend
The day has just started when
suddenly it seems like the end
Love doesn’t promise us
anything it’s true
But it’s a magic shared
between me and you
Only we can make the wand
shoot out a spark
To illuminate our faces
making magic in the dark
Does love promise a tomorrow?
Lose it and you’re left with sorrow
Keep it by my side if I have
to beg, steal, or borrow
Does love promise success? If
you’re in it, it’s the best
Don’t need distractions, just
you laying across my chest
Love doesn’t promise us
anything it’s true
But it’s a magic shared
between me and you
Only we can make the wand
shoot out a spark
To illuminate our faces
making magic in the dark
Love doesn’t promise that, I
do.
