I Promise You
(dedicated to all performers who must be away
from one love while they pursue another)

by Sunny Waters

Music

Looked out my bedroom window
Watched the rain come pourin' down
Lit up your favorite candle
And as the flame danced all around
Not a sound

I wonder where you are
And if you're all alone tonight
We've so much life to share
So baby don't give up the fight
Leave on the light

Ya know I had to go I hate to go
It ain't gettin' any easier I know
But if you wait a little longer
Together we can make a dream come true
I promise you

Hung up the telephone
Afraid to find you're not alone
I guess I can't blame you
I'm the one who left you on your own
All alone

If you only knew
How it would tear me up inside
If you said we're through
Knowin' that we never really tried
We just cried

But ya know I had to go I hate to go
It ain't gettin' any easier I know
But if you wait a little longer
Together we can make a dream come true
I promise you

I wonder where you are
And if you're all alone tonight
We've so much life to share
So baby don't give up the fight
Leave on the light

And when you're feelin' down
Think of me and when you do
Just remember baby
I will be thinking of you too
I love you

But ya know I had to go I hate to go
It ain't gettin' any easier I know
But if you wait a little longer
Together we can make a dream come true
I promise you

I promise you
