The Promise Lyrics
Tracy Chapman
Lyrics
If you wait for me then i'll come for you
Although i've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me if you miss me once in awhile
Then i'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
If you dream of me like i dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where i can feel the beating of your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and i have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and i have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise if it's one that you can keep, i vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.
