I honestly think this song is from Taiyang to Yang. Yang would've been too young at the time of Ruby's birth to really be anticipating Ruby's birth as excitedly as the singer seemed to be, and the promise feels more like a promise never to leave the girl, something Taiyang would say to Yang after losing BOTH of her maternal figures. I think it's about Taiyang watching Yang grow up to be a strong, independent woman, and even though she's had to bear a lot of Taiyang's and Ruby's burdens, she's pushed through it all and it ended up making her a stronger person.

I also believe that, even though "Red Like Roses, Pt. II" has been mentioned time and time again to be about Ruby and Summer, it's about Yang and Summer/her birth mother. Ruby was much too young when her mother died to really remember anything about her, and Yang was the one who was abandoned TWICE by her birth mother, and then again by her stepmother after Summer promised her she'd be there for her. I think Part I (Casey) is Yang being upset that Summer "left" her, and how she truly thought she wasn't going to have to be alone, and Part II (Sandy) is Yang's birth mother watching over Yang from a distance, wanting to tell her the reason she left her with Taiyang and without a mother figure, and wishing she could be there for Yang when she "knows" she can't.

That's my take on both of those songs, anyway.
