[hometext] => Ok, this is sort of a resubmit, as I have added and changed it a little to make it into song lyrics. This was also posted to the old site before the big crash.
[bodytext] => I can't promise you roses
with blooms of brilliant red
but I will always be there
with my loving arms instead
I can't promise you perfection
for perfection I am not
for I am much like the rose
thorns and all I've got
CHORUS
I can’t promise you the earth,
I can’t promise you the stars
But I do promise to love you,
no matter where you are
I may not look the best,
I will never be above the rest
But once you have given us a try,
Believe me, we will soar above the sky…
I can't promise you wealth
with money to shower away
But I can give you my love
to share throughout each day
I can't promise you the stars
for they are out of my reach
but I can show you romantic walks
holding hands along the beach
CHORUS
I can’t promise you the earth,
I can’t promise you the stars
But I do promise to love you,
no matter where you are
I may not look the best,
I will never be above the rest
But once you have given us a try,
Believe me, we will soar above the sky…
I can't promise total happiness
and never a tear in your eye
though I can give you my word
that in every way I will try
I can't promise eternal life
for this is not mine to give
but I can love and support you
everyday in which we live
CHORUS
I can’t promise you the earth,
I can’t promise you the stars
But I do promise to love you,
no matter where you are
I may not look the best,
I will never be above the rest
But once you have given us a try,
Believe me, we will soar above the sky…
I can’t promise you the earth,
I can’t promise you the stars
But I do promise to love you,
no matter where you are
I can’t promise you the earth,
I can’t promise you the stars
But I do promise to love you,
no matter where you are

| good poem/song. i like how the theme follows all the way through. some peoples songs get off track or are about many things, which is still good, but i do like writing that's about something exclusive. makes it more deep and meaningful. |

Mick,
Keep singing!
I like the love
that sings,
brings morning
with an honest ring
I like the man
who promises
his love
the only thing that's his.
Chuck. |

| That was very good and yet so sweet. I like a man that can say he can't promise you the things he doesn't have control over but can say I will try. It takes a real man to say I can't promise you the world but I'd try. This is just what a woman needs to hear. Very sincere and truthful write. Excellent and well done. I really enjoyed reading the poem and the song. It would defindely make a great song :) |

Okay I'm not about to comment on the poem itself--it commands the respect I'm more than willing to give, and it's better than the first.
I'm here to wonder at the (one) anonymous guy who apparently enjoyed loading the poem with...blaphesmous defiliation. At least he had the decency to censor all his expletives, but still.
Can you say... overkill? |

This is a really cool poem, I took some time to read about you and the contributions you have made to this site. I understand why people speak so highly of you.
"A man's wisdom is shown in the words that he speaks" (Or in this case writes) Thank you for your poem and a site in which we can share ours. |

Can't beleive that i never commented on this and don't ever remember for sure if I ever read it but it's a great write and certainly makes mucho senss to me at this momment in my life.
great masterpeice with but honest raw feelings and thoughts.
what more could any women won't.
keep writing.
I thought u had much more poems on here than this but who am I to say cause I've been running around for 58 years with my own heart up my gump not forrest gump now.
Sorry I never read this far before.
Hope your children are fine and u r feeling much better now.
huggs,
emy |

Read it more than once. Just lovely. Can I share it with my husband of 42 years? This is a story about us. Thanks for the message and for making it into a song. It should be.
