Laguna Matata - Promises Lyrics

Don't worry this isn't a sad song
This love story is going great
But it had a scary start
It's a love song worth the wait
The doctor whispered "his heart won't last a day"
And your eyes looked like you were slipping away
I'd give anything to take your place
Drink from your cup, finish your race
I can't stop being a dad so soon
I can't say goodbye to you yet
We haven't done all the things I promised we'd do
I'm not ready for the sun to set
So I sang you your first love song
Filled with promises I couldn't keep
Wasn't sure just how long
You'd be here with me
I have to hear you laugh
I need to see you smile
I have to feel more of your heartbeats
So rest on my chest awhile
I'll bend down and whisper in your ear
You are brave and I am here
Just one pair of footprints in the sand
Climb on my back and hold tight to my hand
So I sang you your first love song
Filled with promises I couldn't keep
Wasn't sure just how long
You'd be here with me
One night I counted 36 shooting stars
I wished on every one for more time with you
You're an answer to all those wishes
So grateful every one came true
Lucky for us our kidneys matched
I would have given you my heart
Our matching scars tell a story of courage
They're like brushstrokes on a work of art
So I sang you your first love song
Filled with promises I couldn't keep
Wasn't sure just how long
You'd be here with me
I trace the freckles on your face
A majestic constellation
Every breath a gift of grace
Your love is my salvation
Now we're dancing at the Getty
You're my cathedral in morning light
Walking hand in hand along the jetty
Watching fireworks light up the night
Looks like I kept my promise after all
So I sang you your first love song
Filled with promises I couldn't keep
Wasn't sure just how long
You'd be here with me
So I sang you your first love song
Filled with promises I couldn't keep
Wasn't sure just how long
You'd be here with me
