I Firmly Promise You
by Wendy Bagwell & The Sunliters

Album: We're Not Getting Older, Just Closer To Home

Verse 1
Some day our last goodbye on earth will all be over
And the journey of life will be through.
But before we say goodbye and the chain of life is broken.
Let me make you this promise too.

Chorus
I firmly promise you that I'll meet you by the river
On the banks of that evergreen shore.
Where hearts will never break and our lips will never quiver for the friends that have gone in before.
One by one we see them cross the silent river
They are leaving every moment or two.
So won't you firmly promise me, that you'll meet me by the river.
And I'll make you this promise too.

Verse 2
Now we know that death is sure, and life is so uncertain.
And we know not when the moment will end.
Ere the silent reaper comes, to drape the final curtain. Let me make you this promise too.

Chorus
