Can’t Promise Anything
I can't promise you roses
which bloom of brilliant red
but I promise, when you need me
as much as possible
I will be here for you

and tears are what I know
I can't promise you wealth

I can't promise you the stars
for they are out of my reach
but I can show you how to walk
gently through your stormy nights
I’ll hold ...
