Upside down two feet off the ground

This happiness just happened to me

She made promises to me
Vs. 2: Tell me how the sun in the sky
Shining so bright gives off such a light
Show me where the moon up above
Shines such a light as on our love
She made promise to me, yeah, she made promises to me
Br. 1: a e a b
She promised to be my one, she promised to be my only
A e a bsus b
She promised to be my love, and never to leave me lonely
Instrumental verse—(solo follows verse form)
She made promise to me, yeah, she made promises to me
Br. 2: She promised to be my one she promised to be my only
She promised to be my love, and never to leave me lonely
Vs. 2:
A promise is made a promise is kept
A promenade step by step
That is why, day after day
I see the promise in every way
She made promise to me, yeah, she made promises to me
She made promise to me, yeah, she made promises to me
