Lyrics
The Promised Land
Music & Lyrics by Lew Doty
Sun peaks through my window
Morning greets the walls and floor
My eyes barely open
I smile as I hear my lover snore
And I gaze upon the bureau
Where the pictures of our children’s children stand
God has kept the promise
As we wander through
This promised land
Mornings at the lake
Where the turtles bask
And the heron fly
Laughing, singing in the car
Oh, you could never harmonize
And the things that seem most special
Are the things we’d never planned
God has kept the promise
As we wander through
This promised land
We had made a promise
Until death do us part
Oh, but this love lasts forever
Forever I will love you
Body, mind and heart
And the things that seem most special
Are the things we’d never planned
God has kept the promise
As we wander through
This promised land
