You Promised To Wait For Me

(album: Chimes At Midnight - 2022)

Say it ain't so
Why would you go?
You promised to wait for me
Right there on the other side
Eyes on the prize
The moon in your eyes
You promised to wait for me
And I know you'd never lie

No, you wouldn't lie
I noticed much to my surprise
No, you wouldn't lie
You meant it, what you said that night

When you whispered, I love you
On an island called hope
But baby, I'm not sleeping anymore
And you whispered, I love you
On an island called hope
But baby, I'm not sleeping anymore

The lights on the stairs
They shine on your hair
You promised to wait for me
You said I was your man
So warm to the touch
You promised so much
You promised to wait for me
But you tucked tail and ran

No, you wouldn't lie
I noticed much to my surprise
No, you wouldn't lie
You meant it, what you said that night
No, you wouldn't lie
I noticed much to my surprise
No, you wouldn't lie
You meant it, what you said that night

When you whispered, I love you
On an island called hope
But baby, I'm not sleeping anymore
And you whispered, I love you
On an island called hope
But baby, I'm not sleeping anymore

I do much better when I do it my way
I do much better when I do it my way

When you whispered, I love you
On an island called hope
But baby, I'm not sleeping anymore
And you whispered, I love you
On an island called hope
But baby, I'm not sleeping anymore
