The Promise Lyrics

[00:23.74] If you need a friend
[00:27.64] Don't look to a stranger
[00:31.64] You know in the end
[00:35.84] I'll always be there
[00:39.78] And when you're in doubt
[00:43.74] And when you're in danger
[00:47.91] Take a look all around
[00:51.87] And I'll be there
[00:57.02] I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[01:00.12] (I promise you)
[01:01.24] I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
[01:04.26] (I promise you)
[01:05.08] But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
[01:08.49] (I promise you)
[01:08.98] I promise, I promise you, I will
[01:16.52] When your day is through
[01:20.52] And so is your temper
[01:24.58] You know what to do
[01:28.28] I'm gonna always be there
[01:32.50] Sometimes if I shout
[01:36.60] It's not what's intended
[01:40.86] These words just come out
[01:44.83] With no cross to bear
[01:49.96] I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[01:52.82] (I promise you)
[01:54.05] I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
[01:57.15] (I promise you)
[01:58.28] But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
[02:01.37] (I promise you)
[02:01.86] I promise, I promise you
[02:06.07] I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[02:09.46] (I promise you)
[02:10.33] I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
[02:13.31] (I promise you)
[02:14.35] And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
[02:18.15] I promise you, I promise you I will
[02:25.41]
[02:38.78] Gotta tell you
[02:42.45] Need to tell you
[02:44.69] Gotta tell you
[02:46.32] I've gotta tell you
[02:50.98] I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[02:54.03] (I promise you)
[02:55.08] I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
[02:58.25] (I promise you)
[02:59.13] But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
[03:02.07] (I promise you)
[03:02.77] I promise, I promise you
[03:07.25] I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[03:10.46] (I promise you)
[03:11.36] I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
[03:14.45] (I promise you)
[03:15.26] And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
[03:19.12] I promise you, I promise you I will
[03:27.39] I will, I will
[03:30.89]
