1 2 3 4      If I promise not to cry   Will you look me in the eye   And tell me that you've known me?   I was your late, your lonely child   I am enhanced by all you've shown me      And in my youth I did defy you to the end   Please forgive my wildness then   Even I can't comprehend   What a mother's love has lent   To all that is me      And will you sing this song again?   Let us sing it hand in hand   While the band is still playing   Before the light can loose your hand   Before I lose my voice again   Let us sing while it's playing      And if I promise not to cry   Please look me in the eye   And say, "You've truly known me"   'Tis the sweet sound of goodbye   Amazing grace how sweet the sound      Between your soul and mine   If I promise not to cry   If I promise not to cry
