Silent Promise

(hmmm-mm-mm) I watched you brush her golden hair today

And whisper things that I could never say

Now you're sleeping,

and the room is cold and still

But I will find the strength,

I know I will

I'll teach them kindness,

teach them how to stand

And lead them forward

with a steady hand

Every little thing you wanted,

every single grace

I will keep your promise

in this quiet place

He has your laughter when he runs outside

She has your quiet,

gentle sense of pride

I'll tell them stories of the way you smiled at me

Underneath the branches of our favorite tree

We'll face the winter,

we'll watch the summer grow And they will always know

how much you loved them so (always know)

I'll teach them kindness,

teach them how to stand

And lead them forward

with a steady hand

Every little thing you wanted,

every single grace

I will keep your promise

in this quiet place

Rest now, my love...

I've got them from here

(shhh,

my love)
