The Promise

The world is cold and cruel,

Full of scorn and ridicule -

But I will be here for you.

When you have a bad day,

Things just won't go away,

I will lighten your dismay.

When dark storm clouds gather,

Bringing trouble and slander,

Have my shoulder if you rather.

When things are looking bleak,

You feel you are growing weak,

I will bring you what you seek.

Yes, the world is cold and cruel,

Though I may be playing the fool,

I will always be here for you.
