The Promise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you need a friend,
Don't look to a stranger.
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.
And when you're in doubt,
Or when you're in danger,
Take a look all around.
I'll be there.
(Chorus)
I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way they I planned them to be.
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me.
I Promise You, I Promise You I Will.
When your day is though,
And so is your temper,
You know what to do.
I'll always be there.
Sometimes if I shout,
It's not what's intended,
These words just come out.
With no cross to bear.
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
I gotta tell ya. I gotta tell ya. I gotta tell ya. I gotta tell ya.
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
I will. I will. I will. I will.
