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
