Promise Me

What would you do
If i asked you to stay?
To close the door
And promise me today?

I don't possibly think
I could ever be happy...
With you not here
And I'm by myself standing...

I understand it's for your country
I understand it's what you have to do
But are you sure that you need me
As much as i need you?

You tell me you care
You tell me i mean something to you
I'm just making sure you're honest
And everything you tell me is true

I think I'm in love with you
And that's why it hurts so bad
Because you're so far away
And I don't hold the smile i once had

I know you're coming back
I know it's only for a while
But can you promise me one thing?
One thing that will make me always smile?

Promise me you'll think of me
Every single day you're gone
Promise me you'll care about me
After time has past along

I'm so afraid we're walking out
On something that's right there!
Pretty soon, you will be gone
And I'll realize how much i care...

Promise me you'll feel the same
Every single minute
You'll think about your life
And who you want in it

When you come back
I'll be waiting here for you
Waiting to see your face
Waiting to hear what's true

These tears I cry are tears of happiness
I'm so proud of what you do!
And I mean it when i say,
I really honestly care about you!
