I’ll take a promise from you
And put it in my pocket
Just to keep it safe until
I buy a little golden locket
I put it safe inside
To see that it’s not broken
Hang from a chain around my neck
The promise that was spoken
I wear it all the time
Keep it safe against my heart
And take comfort from your promise
When it gets a little dark
When ever I’m not with you
Not standing by your side
I whisper sweet things to the locket
And the promise held inside
