This year, we'll be far
So put a hand on your heart
So I'll sing to you
Try to bring to you a little ease
Would you please take a breath? A sigh?
It's okay to cry
I did too
Right after I got off the phone with you
I need a favor, 'cause I can't be there
Someone I love needs a whole lot of care
And I trust you to be just as loving as you are to me

Promise you'll take care of you
And I promise to take care of me, too
Wishing I could be with you
In the meantime, I hope this will do

Soon after this one, put on a song
You can dance to and sing along
'Cause music can change everything
You taught me that, that's why I sing

Promise you'll take care of you
And I promise to take care of me too
Wishing I could be with you
In the meantime, I hope this will do
