Lyrics

You said wait for me, my love
Wait till the summer comes
I held your words so close and warm
Hummed them like soft drums

I kept my promise, slow and sweet
Here I am, at your feet
I kept my promise, slow and sweet
Our two hearts finally meet

Letters came and letters went
Moon went round the sky
Never once I lost my faith
Never once asked why

I kept my promise, slow and sweet
Here I am, at your feet
I kept my promise, slow and sweet
Our two hearts finally meet

Hold me now, hold me near
Years are in your eyes
Everything I waited for
Standing here, no disguise

Now we dance in the kitchen light
Nothing left to say
A promise kept is a gentle thing
It grew into today

I kept my promise, slow and sweet
Here I am, at your feet
I kept my promise, slow and sweet
Our two hearts finally meet

Slow and sweet
Slow and sweet
