Music & Lyrics: Vol 4

I am quite the extremist. When I'm emotional, it's at its peak. And then sometimes I'm at the verge of bottling it all inside.
But this song does it for me. Makes me let lose even though it's been years ago since I listened to it. And my friend (for dayssss) rekindled that little flame again by 'reminding' me of it's existence...

That highlighted bit...the harmony and the words? *sigh*
That's what hooks are for anyway...


'The Promise' by Tracy Chapman

If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me
If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

[Hook]
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting 

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me

And say you'll hold
A place for me
I in your heart.

Love truly is beautiful. It could be abused, mishandled, torn apart. But it still is...simply beautiful.
