Promises - Badly Drawn Boy
Genre/Lang. : Pop/Rock
I promise you will get old
I promised you everything
To protect you wherever you go
I'll give you this diamond ring
Just promise you will remember
A promise should last forever
Right up to the dying embers
Of a fire that burns so slow
It's a different day everyday
Don't want you to walk alone
But how long can we carry on?
When all of these things have gone
Just promise you will remember
A promise should last forever
It's the last of the dying embers
Of a fire that burns so slowly
It's a beautiful thing to do
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Remember I do love you
Have courage in what you say
Just promise you will remember
Promises last forever
Still left of the dying embers
The fire that burns so slowly
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Wishing that today was yesterday
Yeah, sometimes you just have to walk away
