A Promise

(专辑： Riverdale: Special Episode - Next To Normal The Musical - 2021)

A promise your child says forever
Your child says whatever may come will come through
And who can know how when all I know now to be true
Is this promise that I made to you

A question your child wonders whether
The two stay together the way that they stay
For year after year for love or for fear either way
That's the promise that I made that day

Here's what I say to the girl who was burning so brightly
Like the light from Orion above
And still I will search for her nightly if you see her please send her my love
And the girl was a girl for all seasons
That girl is long lost to me now
And your child has forgotten her reasons
But your child still remembers her vow

A promise your child says forever
Your child says I'll never regret or let you
The promise I made to stay and I stay true
Knowing each day we'll move on from the loss
We can live for the now while we carry the past
Till we do, the promise I made I'll make it brand new
The promise that I made to you
