I dream of my future wife her
Every night I sleep alone I'm sad I think of her
Sharing our love together
Dreaming of true happiness together
And knowing everything I'd do would truly be for you
And I promise I'll be strong
And promise to love you each day
And once and for all I promise to truly love you.
David P Carroll
I Promise To Love You
It's been since October,
Since I've last heard from you

The cold wind blows,
And sometimes,
I hear you calling my name.

The ghost of you following me.
Everywhere I go.

The sun comes alive,
Giving me hope
That in the end,
Life isn't so bad
after all.

I may fall.
I may have my moments,
When I feel like a loser.

...Deep down inside
I know that's not true.

My life has a purpose,
This, I know.

This purpose I've yet to find,
But it's still a long way down.
The road less traveled.

All I ask is that you
walk with me
And stay by my side

Be my guardian angel,
Be my compass.

Guide me in the right direction,
because I don't know
which way to go.

I've been lost for so long,

It's time I step out of the shadows,
It's time I start living my life.
