1    -3  -3  -3  -3   -3* -3  -2   3 -3
Oh, prom-ise me that some-day you and I
 -3   4    3   3   -3 -3*  -2 -2  -1*  1
Will take our love to-geth-er to some sky
  1  -3* -3* -3*-3* -5  3    3   -3 -3* 
Where we can be a-lone and faith re-new,
-3*  -2  -2  -2   -2    3
And find the hol-lows where 
 -2    -2   3  -3-3*
those flow-ers grew,
  4     4     4   -5 -3 -3  -3  4  3     3
Those first sweet vi-o-lets of ear-ly spring,
  3    -2  -2  -3* -3*
Which come in whis-pers, 
  -3   3*  -3    2   2
thrill us both, and sing
2  -1  -1   2  -1 -1   2   -2 -2 -2
O love un-speak-a-ble that is to be;
3*   -3  -3  -3* -3   -2   3  -2
Oh, prom-ise me! Oh, prom-ise me!

1    -3  -3  -3  -3  -3*  -3   -2  3   -3
Oh, prom-ise me that you will take my hand,
 -3  4   3   3  -3 -3*  -2   -2  1*  1
The most un-wor-thy in this lone-ly land,
 1  -3* -3*-3* -3* -5   3  3   -3  -3*
And let me sit be-side you in your eyes,
-2  -2  -2  3   3   -2  3  -3 -3 -3*
See-ing the vi-sion of our par-a-dise,
 4    4    4   -5   -5
Hear-ing God's mes-sage 
 -3   -3  4   3    3
while the or-gan rolls
 3   -2  -2 -3* -3*-3  3* -3  2   2
Its might-y mus-ic to our ver-y souls,
2   -1   -1   2   2    -1  2  -2   -2   3
No love less per-fect than a life with thee;
3*   -3  -3  -3* -3   -5   5  5
Oh, prom-ise me! Oh, prom-ise me!
