THE PROMISEWords & Music by Orrin Bolton
2005 Pelican Patrol Music (BMI)
MUST HAVE BEEN MONDAY, I WOKE UP IN BED,
BOOKED A FLIGHT FOR BOMBAY, ENDED UP RIGHT HERE INSTEAD.
AND ON THE WAY HERE, I MET A SOUL,
TOOK ME TO HER SECRET PLACE,
AND SHE BEGGED ME, SHE BEGGED ME, "PLEASE DON'T GO."
FOREVER, LET LOVE GO ON AND ON AND ON.
I THINK IT WAS WEDNESDAY, I WOKE UP IN BED,
REACHED FOR MY PEN AND MY PAD, I WROTE DOWN EVERY WORD SHE SAID,
ABOUT THE PROMISE OF A LIFETIME AND A LOVER, ON A JOURNEY TO THE END.
FOREVER, AND LOVE GOES ON AND ON AND ON,
SO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW
DID YOU EVER BELIEVE IN ME WHEN YOU TOLD ME, YOU'D LOVE ME FOREVER?
NOW YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE, HOW CAN YOU HOLD ME,
SMILING WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL, LYING EYES?
MUST HAVE BEEN FRIDAY, I WOKE UP IN BED,
CAME TO MY SENSES, I PUT MY SIX GUN TO MY HEAD,
AND ON THE TV, WAS A SHOW, 'BOUT A LIFE I REMEMBER,
AND A PROMISE, SHE LET GO.
FOREVER, AND LIFE GOES ON AND ON AND ON,
SO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW NOW, YEAH!
DID YOU EVER BELIEVE IN ME WHEN YOU TOLD ME, YOU'D LOVE ME FOREVER?
AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE, HOW CAN YOU HOLD ME,
SMILING WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL, LYING EYES?
REMEMBER NOW, TRUE LOVE, AND I'M THE ONE WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW,
AND YOU CALL THIS LOVE BABY?
IS THAT, IS THAT, IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?
MUST HAVE BEEN MONDAY, I WOKE UP IN BED,
BOOKED A FLIGHT FOR BOMBAY,
ENDED UP RIGHT HERE INSTEAD.
