I PROMISE YOU A HAPPY ENDING

 

Music and lyric by

Jerry Herman

 

Tenderly

 

I promise you a happy ending like the ones that you see on the screen so if you’ve had a ban beginning, love will come out winning in the closing scene.  And when you find it rough contending with the grind that the world puts us through I can promise you a happy ending that has you loving me loving you.

 

I promise you a happy ending like the one you’ve been dreaming about.  Where vows are vowed and knots are knotted, and the preacher’s potted as the reel runs out.  And so I’m strongly recommending that you pack up your old point of view, I can promise you a happy ending that has you loving me loving you.
