It's your birthday score, 2 years ago, Time just seemed to fly away; but Time is only temporary so, I thank God for this one more day. You're a blessing to my life you know, Everything is not the same I hope you'll stay here for a while so Your sunshine, it will never rain But until then happy birthday Even then happy birthday Happy birthday love

Promises are words of encouragement Promises are words of truth He promises never to leave you By yourself and no one else but God can make these promises that He Cannot break, Even though we'd might make mistakes His ways are far beyond our wildest dreams I promise. I will never leave you I promise. You are never on your own You will never be alone Promise is food for the soul.
4.	Ready for Love/You Are My Sunshine	lyrics
I am ready for love Why are you hiding from me I'd quickly give my freedom To be held in your captivity I am ready for love All of the joy and the pain And all the time that it takes Just to stay in your good grace Lately I've been thinking Maybe you're not ready for me Maybe you think I need to learn maturity They say watch what you ask for Cause you might receive But if you ask me tomorrow I'll say the same thing I am ready for love Would you please lend me your ear? I promise I won't complain I just need you to acknowledge I am here If you give me half a chance I'll prove this to you I will be patient, kind, faithful and true To a man who loves music A man who loves art Respect's the spirit world And thinks with his heart I am ready for love If you'll take me in your hands I will learn what you teach And do the best that I can I am ready for love Here with an offering of My voice My Eyes My soul My mind Tell me what is enough To prove I am ready for love I am ready You are my sunshine My only sunshine You make me happy When skies are gray You'll never notice How much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away

1 Celebration with the 2 & the 2 Or with the 1 if you count me and you, and I wanna just Tell you right now this might be the best album You've ever had just to say (happy birthday) Now I'm happy I can see you smile, And I'm happy I can put a little worth in your while; And I'm happy you can add another year to your files, And for the years to come, imma say (happy birthday) But let's focus on the here and the now I want to give what I made, this is how; see I could make a promise, or vow, or give you my word (when I say) That I love you and I wish you a (happy birthday) Actually that might've been three words, But serves the same purpose without being absurd And since we're, speaking in 3s if you haven't heard Then I'mma let you know now that (you're my love) This time I had to do a studio feel, drive the kick, drag the claps, ride the bass on your heels And if I gave you the song, in company with a meal, it would prolly be a cake that said (happy birthday) Well in fact it might have been something else, like a, Breakfast in bed, unless you wanna help Cause you know I can throw down if I say so myself, And since myself's talking, imma say (happy birthday) I'd say 'surprise!' But we're too far in, I wanna, Set the example for our young men, When you said you hate surprises you didn't mean this, So I'mma stretch it out, while I say (happy birthday) You go to hibernate, bare as a cub, And wake up in the morning fly as a dove Your mental power sits just deep as a tub So it's no wonder why (you're my love)

9.	Up to You 03:37	lyrics	buy track
Only you know what to do In the end it's up to you I promise you this, And I know math is no fun But when it comes down to us I can make 1 + 1 be 1 But it's not just me You're the prime part of the equation And this could be the product of summing up agape love making a difference with operations I knows it seems complex Such infinite love to reflect We can build your brain up, and develop a night that it never forgets Exercise your rights To choose hot or cold To choose left or right To choose yes or no Don't sweat it too much This is just a warm up You don't want too much pressure Just enough to condition the thought of unconditional love What a weight, and it's heavy now; but if I made you a gym then it'll all work out What a wait, And it's heavy now; But if you take this gem It'll all work out.
10.	Brothers of Suns (Infinite) 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Do you ever think about the brothers of suns? And how we never think to count them all one by one, no And even if we tried to add them up, believing that our eyes could last, perceiving such a light legion closeup could be fun (Wouldn't it) Be so nice to experience (diamonds made of light that) Is infinity in no tense (Or wouldn't it be so) Nice to have the faith in a man (Thats born in everlasting) Light and it's all part of His plan? Let me tell you my love is (infinite) And I'll tell you my name means You call me your sunshine And that comes from my God gene Cause I was made in an Image A likeness with no end So as I look to my savior, You can look to your husband ...So she says yes Went from heavy to light, it takes effect in the Selection process, elected your best and now I'm Blessed, cause I get to put you in a white dress And I get to see you shine And everybody else gets to see you, mine And I'll be yours, and they'll see that we've intertwined By a love that is designed by the most divine See, when I close my eyes and think of you I think of all the times you've helped me through my Life, and now you're gonna be a part of mine, so I'll Jump the mop and bucket if I really have to Cause if I'm a star in you're eyes And you're a star in mine, Then from the sun, we're not so far Cause what the sun but a star?

about

"Promise" is the official proposal album for Ciera Underwood (now Ciera Carr) released on her birthday.

The album is a compilation of the songs that Dont'e Carr has ever written or covered during the time he's known Ciera. Every song has been re-recorded, remixed, and remastered. Toward the end of the album, "Up to You" calls attention to Ciera's deciding power in the proposal process, as Dont'e kneels to ask one of the most important questions of his life.
