Promise Me

(album: Portrait Of Donny - 1972)

When you went away
I was still holding you in my mind
Thinking all was fine
Love was so kind

Oh, but then wouldn't you know?
Loneliness came through
I discovered my arms were without you
And I had to cry
When was goodbye?
Oh, when I find you

Oooh, baby
Promise me
You'll always be
The one hose love returns to me
And baby, we will always be together

Wait for me patiently
I'll be there
Wait and see
I need you like you need me forever

Yes, I know you're there
Waiting till I find you
Hiding, but where?
In my lonely room
You're already there

Oh, I must find you
Can I face each day knowing with my waking
You slip away
Oh, it isn't fair
Me here
You there
When we're together

Oooh, yeah, yeah...

Promise me
You'll always be
The one whose love returns to me
And baby
We will always be together

Wait for me patiently
I'll be there
Wait and see
I need you like you need me forever

Oh, baby
Promise me you'll always be
The one who's love returns to me
