I never met you, and i never knew you
but i always want to cry when i see your picture on that wall
for all the pain that my love endures
i just want to take it all
i know how much it hurt when him when you passed away
i can see the sorrow in his eyes
inside i know hes not okay
i wish i knew you
even for just one day
but i know you were here,
until the babe was just old enough you stayed
you raised my love
you shaped him to the man he is today
for years you stood beside him
and now you watch over him from your heavenly place
now i make this promise to you
i promise you i will stay
i promise i will love him
be his strength and his solid ground
his retreat when the world turns its back
his hideaway when his life is turned around
i promise i will face the world with him
holding tight onto his hand
i promise i will be his crying shoulder,
holding him, and silentlyi will understand
i promise i will pray for him
and keep him in my thoughts
i will be everything you were to him
and everything you were not
i promise i will love him
forever and always
this is my promise to you
I Promise I Will Stay
