The Promise Lyrics
[00:23.58] If you need a friend
[00:27.50] Don't look to a stranger
[00:31.69] You know in the end
[00:35.67] I'll always be there
[00:39.74] And when you're in doubt
[00:43.89] And when you're in danger
[00:47.49] Take a look all around
[00:51.93] And I'll be there
[00:57.00] I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[01:00.96] (I promise you)
[01:01.89] I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
[01:04.07] (I promise you)
[01:04.79] But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
[01:08.74] (I promise you)
[01:09.30] I promise, I promise you, I will
[01:16.52] When your day is through
[01:20.39] And so is your temper
[01:24.21] You know what to do
[01:28.42] I'm gonna always be there
[01:32.30] Sometimes if I shout
[01:36.63] It's not what's intended
[01:40.45] These words just come out
[01:44.40] With no cross to bear
[01:49.82] I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[01:53.02] (I promise you)
[01:53.55] I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
[01:57.12] (I promise you)
[01:57.86] But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
[02:01.10] (I promise you)
[02:01.89] I promise, I promise you
[02:05.55] I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[02:09.28] (I promise you)
[02:09.89] I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
[02:13.25] (I promise you)
[02:13.84] And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
[02:17.74] I promise you, I promise you I will
[02:24.74]
[02:39.45] Gotta tell you
[02:42.34] Need to tell you
[02:44.28] Gotta tell you
[02:46.14] I've gotta tell you
