Written and performed by John Bahler. This is a fairly standard melody, made much more interesting by the off-time harmony.
lyrics
So you want a bright, shining night,
a man of wonder and might,
to fill your heart with a sweet delight?
Well this is the song that I write
I won't promise you all your dreams come true.
I won't say I'll always be divine.
But I promise you to be ever true
and to give you love for a lifetime.
Well the time is now drawing near
to face your dreams and your fears.
Come go with me to that great frontier,
for tomorrow is already here.
I won't promise you all your dreams come true.
I won't say I'll always be divine.
But I promise you to be ever true
and to give you love for a lifetime.
So I'm not that bright, shining knight,
just a man who will treat you right,
to walk with you to the end of life,
hand in hand, a humble man and his wife.
And I promise if you love me too
that love will be a dream divine.
And I promise you to be ever true
and to give you love for a lifetime.
