A while back, I fell in love with a song. Now, I know that most people around here don't care for country, so it's not one that most people would be interested in. It was written by Justin Timberlake for Reba and he sang it with her on her Duets album.
I had planned on posting this as a prompt in TBS for a while. It fits so many couples, friends, trios and others in LJ, past and present. I thought of Amanda/Terry, Orli/Will/Shy, Callie/Alex/Mike, Methos/Wes/Fred, Peter/Sasha, Caro/Nick, Aidan/Wes and so many other lovers. But I also thought about Nathan and Peter, or Nathan and his kids. I thought about friends and family, too.
Finally, it's a prompt at TBS. This video is nothing but pictures of Reba with the song. But I'm posting it for Mark, from Alexa. Now and three hundred years from now, the promise remains.

When the ground beneath you starts a-shakin' (shakin’)
And you forget the place we came from (came from)
When you're lost and lookin' for your way home
Your way home to me
I'll come out and find you
When the world around you starts a-movin' (movin’)
And you should wonder if I still love you (love you)
If you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside
I'll make a light to guide you back home
And after all the sky is fallin' down
And after all the water's washed away
My love's the only promise that remains
When your doubts have got you thinkin'
Nothing's ever really sacred
And you're afraid you might believe in...
Believe in me
And I'll give you a reason
Cuz the world around us keeps on movin' (movin’)
And there's no doubt that I still love you (love you)
So when you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside
I'll make a light to guide you back home
And after all the sky is fallin' down
And after all the water's washed away
My love's the only promise that remains
My love's the only promise that remains
My love's the only promise that remains
And after all the sky is fallin' down
(After all the sky is fallin' down)
And after all the water's washed away
(After all the water's washed away)
My love's the only promise that remains
