Let me hear loves refrain
Now youre here, will you leave again?
Oh, tell me this wont be just a past advance
When I say
Come to me, run to me
Please dont let me down
Lead me to the sea of ecstasy
Dont let me drown
Im gonna take the living word in all I heard
Oh baby, you promised me the world
But if you never say it just one more time
You know I wont mind
Because you made me the promise
Hold me now, oh so tenderly
A-wont you please be the most
Any love can be?
When I say
I want to believe you
Dont tell me lies
I know I cant afford the risk I take
I cant live life without mistake
But dont deny
Im wanna take the living word in all I heard
Oh baby, you promised me the world
But if you never say it just one more time
You know I wont mind
Because you made me the promise
The promise of love
Dont tear it all apart, woah, no, no
Its all we may have to believe in from the start
Its the promise of love that we hold in our hearts
When I say
Come to me, run to me
Make me the promise
Im wanna take the living word in all I heard
Oh baby, you promised me the world
But if you never say it just one more time
You know I wont mind
Because you made me the promise of love
I want your love
Make me the promise of love
You gave your love
Make me the promise of love
I need your love
Make me the promise of love
You gave your love
Make me the promise of love
I want your love
Make me the promise of love
You gave your love
Make me the promise of love
