On the morning of my cousin Mairtín’s wedding to the lovely Sarah, I woke up at 5:30 with lots of music and words in my head. Unable to sleep, I got up and wrote this song for them.
Lyrics:
This promise, I make today
In the storm and the sun, come what may
I will stay by your side, on this wonderful ride
This promise I make today
This promise, I make today
That I’ll be there for you, every day
If you need a spark, I’ll light up the dark
This promise I make today
This promise, I make today
I will take a deep breath, I will pray
For the right thing to do, the right words to use,
As I make this promise today
So now, I stand here, and say
That no matter what, I will stay
Through the days & the nights, the kisses and fights,
This promise I make today
And when we are old and grey
We’ll remember this magical day
For the love and the hope
That we shared as we spoke
This promise we made that day
This promise we’ll make each day
This promise we make today
