There’s joy in delivering my promises to you,
I promised so many things, I seriously had a doubt,
I just love you so much, I just don’t want you living without.

I promised you the heavens and all the stars above,
All the constellations playing in the sky,
I promised that they’d all be yours, you never questioned why,
I wished you had doubted me and let me say no more,
You’ve been waiting patiently, waiting at my door.

I wish I never promised you, everything from A to Z,
I know how disappointed you are, that it didn’t come from me.

I wished you wealth way beyond compare, gold, myrrh and frankincense,
Endless mines from where, I get my gold to share,
A beautiful mansion and a Bentley to boot,
Beautiful gardens and courtyards, you wander under foot.

I promised you children with the passing of time,
The product of who and what we are, we could leave behind,
The fruit was not forthcoming, it withered on the vine,
I now have no children to offer you, just my body and my mind.

I told you that my body would never betray you, it was yours alone,
My intentions were pure and honorable, until I strayed from home.
She caught me at my weakest point, on a cold and lonely night,
It was just a foolish act, now I live with guilt despite.

I promised that my mind would always be on you,
I guess I didn’t understand as my intentions were true blue,
It was all the stuff, never enough, just work as it unfolds
That made me a bit crazy insane, now that I am getting old.

I wished I never promised you, everything from A to Z,
I know how disappointed you are, that it didn’t come from me.

There is one promise that I made, that I’ll never seek to deny,
It’s what’s in my heart, when I look at you, that will never pass me by,
​
So you can pass on all the others, my love is now rooted as it should.
I have great joy in delivering just this one promise that I made:
That I’ll love you forever, and I’ll take that to my grave.

A man's role in a relationship: Provide and Protect. It in his genes.
