Lyrics

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.

If 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

And when you're in danger

Take a look all around

And I'll be there

I'm sorry but I was just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be

But if you wait around awhile

I'll make you fall for me

I promise

I promise you, I will

When your day is through

And so is your temper

You know what to do

Gonna always be there

Sometimes if I shout

It's not what's intended

These words just come out

With no grudge to bear

I'm sorry but I was just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be

But if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me

I promise you

I promise you, I will

I tell ya

I gotta tell ya

I need to tell ya

I'm sorry but I was just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be

But if you wait around awhile I'll make you fall for me

I promise

I promise you

I'm sorry but I was just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be

But if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me

I promise you

I promise you, I will

I will

I will

I will
