Darling, on the day we met,
I fell in love with you.
I never felt so much before.
I thought this love was true.
Girl, what you ever saw in me
Is truly anybody’s guess,
But when I asked if you’d be mine,
You kissed me and said yes.
I promised you forever.
You promised that and a day,
But we never thought this love we shared
Would ever fade away.
Well’ I’m going to keep my promise
Because forever I’ll be loving you.
Now I only wish that you would take
To keeping your promises, too.
When you turned away from me,
It caused me so much pain.
I spent so many restless nights
Just walking in the rain.
I know the love I shared with you
I’ll probably never find again,
So I’ll just spend my afternoons
Remembering back when.
