So I sang this song to my beloved
Cause she looked so nice and so sweet
She looked so gentle and so kind
I wanted her to promise me that she'd never change

Oh, promise me that you'll greet me with a great big smile
Like the one you gave me today when I walked in
Now promise me that you'll be happy every time I come home
Promise me that you'll lift your head up and you'll run to me

Promise me, girl, that you'll always look so good
Promise me that you'll always have such long and nice flowing hair
See, when I saw you today, you were like the shining sun
You looked like an angel, oh, so pure

So I sang this song to my beloved
Cause she looked so nice and so sweet
She looked so gentle and so kind
I wanted her to promise me that she'd never change

Hey, y'all got it
So I sang this song to my beloved
Cause she treated me, she treated me so nicely
And she looked so gentle and so kind

So I wanted her to promise me that she'd never change
Oh, promise me that you'll always say how much you love me
Promise me that I'll always have a great big hug like the one you gave me today
Oh, I love the way you spun your arms around my neck

Oh, girl, so promise me that you'll lean on me like you did today
Now promise me that you'll always have this sweet and soft voice
And promise me that you'll always be gentle towards me
Please promise me that you'll touch me on my chest one day

Finally promise me that one day you'll give me a big long kiss like in the movies
So I sang this song to my beloved
Cause she treated me, she treated me so nicely
She was so, she was so kind and so gentle

Oh, I wanted her to promise me that she'd never change
Oh, promise me, promise me one more time
