[Verse One]
I like watching you walk in front of me like a child
Exploring the world as if it's your first time
Telling me how vibrant it's colours are

You never could stop from looking back
As to validate something
Like you were going to hold my hand or walk together with me
All around the world until it fades away
I'll be right behind you
Watching you as you discover what's beyond the end of the road

[Chorus]
Can you promise me
That when its time to say Goodbye that you'll go first
Please leave all the pointless sadness to me
Let me deal with the emptiness you left behind

Can you promise me
When the time comes to part ways, you'll look back without a worry
And help me understand that I've held those hands before
So I can wave goodbye to you after letting go without crying

[Verse Two]
Remember that you have loved, you have to remember this
Remember where you have been and you must remember to keep going
Remember that you will always stay in my eyes
Your silhouette will always remain in my world
[Bridge]
Don’t rush to promise me
Don’t say those words now
Just enjoy the peacefulness of this moment

[Chorus]
Can you promise me
That the next time we meet you won’t recognize me
Don’t ask me to endure having held your hand once
Only to wave goodbye the next time we meet
