Promise Me...
Dr. Karmie Kalmanowitz 1960 (LA)
December 23You will never be to old
To cuddle me so closely
Promise Me...
When you see me
getting up in age
Your patience and
smile will not change...
Promise Me...
When my time to leave you
Arrive that your tender eyes
Will meet my eyes
As they will be closing
While saying....
Until we meet again...
Promise Me....
