🎵 When the Night Promised Me Your Heart

🎵 When the Night Promised Me Your Heart (Written and performed by Jon Mendaros — Private Edition) [Verse 1] The candles whispered low across the room, Your laughter lingered softly in the gloom. I reached to hold the silence where you’d been, And felt the night breathe you back in. [Verse 2] I heard the rain fall easy on the glass, Each drop a memory I couldn’t let pass. I closed my eyes and saw your gentle light, The one that warmed the edge of night. [Chorus] When the night promised me your heart, I believed the stars would never part. Love was a whisper, a vow in the dark, When the night promised me your heart. [Bridge] You were the calm I’d been longing to find, You were the peace in a restless mind. And though the dawn pulled our dreams apart, I still wake where the night promised me your heart. [Final Chorus] When the night promised me your heart, I held the truth though we’re worlds apart. Love still remembers where dreams restart— When the night promised me your heart. (Soft steel guitar fade, cello beneath, whispered reprise) “When the night… promised me… your heart.”
