Helma Sawatzky - Fragile

Remember how we used to play
and tell each other secrets
We would promise solemnly not to tell a soul
And I believed that you would be
the guardian of my mysteries
the keeper of my treasure - no one would ever know...

Little did I realize that our forever promises are
fragile, fragile, fragile...

I spoke the words "Forever True"
and remember looking up at you
I thought no one could ever take this confidence away...
The storms just swept us off our feet
till we fell down on hands and knees-
crying up to heaven "Cover me!"

Little did I realize that our forever promises are
fragile, fragile, fragile...

Then one night I had a dream -
it was more like a nightmare
I was standing in a court of law with a gun to my head...
And as they asked me to speak up
to say who I belonged to
My heart was shattered by the words I said

Little did I realize that our forever promises are
fragile, fragile...

Can I believe you're different - Can I believe you'll stay
Can I believe that your forever promises
will come true some day...

Little did I realize that our forever promises are
fragile, fragile, fragile...
