A hand to hold when things look down   And no one seems to care   A shoulder that is strong enough   For the burdens we must bear   A dream that reaches far and wide   So both of us can dare   A promise I will love and bide   That's all I have to share      A chance to sail among the stars   That few will ever see   To feel the deepest missing you   That most think cannot be   A heart that beats for only one   And loves you fast and true   A promise I will love and bide   That's all I have for you      These things I have to give to you   Their value isn't much   Just things that you can barely see   And rarely ever touch   A hand to hold when we're alone   And no one seems to care   A gentle touch to reassure   And tell you I'm still there   I try my best to reminisce   Our dreams that all came true   A promise I will love and bide   That's all I have for you      My promise I will love and bide   This I give to you
