| Please don't promise me forever I want us to love each other one day at a time And string all those days together Like precious things they are... ...instead of trying too hard and promising too much Please don't always expect me to Always be good, kind and loving There are times when I will be cold And thoughtless and hard to understand But I will only be because Of the weather or flu or one Of the moods Not because I love you less Please remember that. Please don't talk about things That would happen to us Don't think about other people Coming between us Don't think about outgrowing each other Think of growing closer to each other Finding new reasons for being together... ...and think of loving I will, too. I am right now. Please don't get mad at me If I forget your birthday Or some special days we share And please remember that There is an "everydayness" About what we have Beyond birthdays and anniversaries That's why sometimes I may not remember One special day because all our Days are special to me Please don't sign a letter as "ever" Please don't be too easy on me Or expect me to be too easy on you, Both of us have room to grow And both of us have to grow if you want to hold each other's love. Please don't ever give me too Much of yourself Or take too much of me In our togetherness We still need our private places. Please listen to me When I am talking to you And please don't think of someone else When I kiss you. Please don't start an argument Or look foolish in front of other people But when we're alone Don't feel like you're walking on eggs Go ahead and say what you think I need telling off, tell me off Then we can have our fight And make up And love again Just us. Please remember to call sometimes For no reason except that you feel me Thinking 'bout you Needing your voice Please don't ever lose that laugh of yours It's such a real laugh And never change the way you brush my hair Back from my eyes And smile when I'm trying to be serious In the little odd ways you have Of saying things that make you "you" One of a kind - the one I love. Please let's not use politeness And business and silence To avoid our problems And the place where we're hurt If something's wrong, Let's go after it and make it right. It's a good feeling to think Of growing older with you But please let's never get old I always want us to long on the newness That we love right now Let's never be ashamed of our innocence Of the child within us Let's never give up on our dreams Please don't try to keep it from me When you're feeling down I'll never be able to share your joys If you try to protest from your sadness Please don't say never And please don't promise me forever All I ask is your love now And please know That I love you today Than I have before I can't promise you forever But I can promise you today With the hope and belief That there is A beautiful tomorrow in store for us. |
