Je Te Promets

I promise you salt with the kiss of my mouth
I promise you honey with my hand that touches you
I promise you the sky above your bed
Flowers and lace so your nights are sweet

I promise you the key to the secrets of my soul
I promise you the life from my laughter to my tears
I promise you fire in place of weapons
Never again goodbyes, only farewells

I believe in it like in the earth, like in the sun
I believe in it like in a child, like one can believe in heaven
I believe in it like in your skin, in your arms that hold me
I promise you a story different from the others
I so need to still believe in it

I promise you days all blue like your veins
I promise you nights red like your dreams
Incandescent hours and white minutes
Carefree seconds to the rhythm of your hips

I promise you my arms to carry your anxieties
I promise you my hands for you to kiss them
I promise you my eyes if you can't see anymore
I promise to be happy if you have no more hope

I believe in it like in the earth, like in the sun
I believe in it like in a child, like one can believe in heaven
I believe in it like in your skin, in your arms that hold me
I promise you a story different from the others
If you help me to still believe in it

And even if it's not true, if they've told you too much
If the words are worn out like chalk writings
We make big fires by rubbing stones
Maybe with time and by believing in it
We can just try to see

And even if it's not true, even if I lie
If the words are worn out, light as the wind
And even if our story ends in the morning
I promise you a moment of fever and sweetness
Not all night but a few hours

I promise you salt with the kiss of my mouth
I promise you honey with my hand that touches you
I promise you the sky above your bed
Flowers and lace so your nights are sweet
