When your heart is full from laughter in the hallways
Tiny footsteps pace behind you and call your name
When your mind's at ease and the world around you is quiet
When you cherish every moment we have made
I promised you, ""Always, forever""
Keeping time, I'm on your side
Through the joy or pain, whatever we weather
I promise I'll keep, keep holding on to you
I promise I'll keep, keep holding on to you
When the years are spent from holding the hands of time back
And your strength is gone from chasing down the days
If it cuts you deep when the world around you changes
And tomorrow's troubles keep you wide awake
I promised you, ""Always, forever""
Keeping time, I'm on your side
Through the joy or pain, whatever we weather
I promise I'll keep, keep holding on to you
I promise I'll keep, keep holding on to you
Through the fire, through the famine, through the flood
I will keep on, I will be strong, not giving up
Through the fire, through the famine, through the flood
I will keep on, I will be strong, not letting go of you
I'm not letting go of you
I'm not letting go of you
I'm not letting go of you
I promise to keep, keep holding on to you
I promise to keep, keep holding on to you
