Promise

I'll meet you at the corner
Of You and I
And when the night is over
We will say goodbye

I'll leave it up to you
If we should meet again
And if and when we do,
Perhaps we'll just be friends

I can give you today,
But I won't promise tomorrow
I'll cause you no pain
If you will cause me no sorrow

I'll love you tonight
But I can't promise tomorrow
I might walk on out,
Please say you won't follow

Maybe this could last
A little longer than we'd planned
But when that feeling's passed,
Can we lay it in the sand

Will we be able to leave
To turn and walk away
I'll grant you a reprieve,
So I won't ask you to stay

I can give you today,
But I won't promise tomorrow
I'll cause you no pain
If you will cause me no sorrow

I'll love you tonight
But I can't promise tomorrow
I might walk on out,
Please say you won't follow

I won't sign up for a lifetime
When I have nothing to give
I can't throw you a lifeline
If I'm struggling to live

And if we think we're ready,
We can take that next step
Hold on and stay steady,
And I know we won't trip

I can give you today,
But I won't promise tomorrow
I'll cause you no pain
If you will cause me no sorrow

I'll love you tonight
But I can't promise tomorrow
I might walk on out,
Please say you won't follow

I can tell you I love you
But you know they're just words
I could give you a necklace
But you know they're just pearls

When I love you, I'll show it
In everything that I do
When you love me, I'll know it
Cause I'll see it in you

I can give you today,
But I won't promise tomorrow
I'll cause you no pain
If you will cause me no sorrow

I'll love you tonight
But I can't promise tomorrow
I might walk on out,
Please say you won't follow...
