Can't you see a promise just makes us feel good now Then tomorrow, if we break up, one of us will be asking How could you do this to me darling When we promised life a rose The promises that lovers make are wishful thinking I suppose How can anyone know if love is forever Or only for a moment How can anyone know Stay with me awhile, it may be a long while Maybe we'll live together and the years will have their way One morning we will wake up and one of us will say How could you do this to me darling Did you know it from the start The promises we never made were outlasted by the heart Can't you see a promise just makes us feel good now And we grew up with the notion that lovers must take a vow But I can tell you in this moment as life unfolds each day The way that we've been making love I don't want to go away
