The Promise Lyrics

They say that everyone has got song about whiskey

They say that it almost drowns the pain

But the only time that I forget the hurtin

Is when your face walks into frame

Well I've had Jack and Jim and all their friends

And this I'll say in their defense

Nothing hurts or cures quite like you

Time and again, I've lost my wits, but I can't lose you again

So I promise to be the reason the rhythm and the rhyme

And I promise to be better and grow day I'm by your side

And if you're worried that I might stumble up this mountain I must climb

Then I promise you I won't ever give up on you again this time

Cause I can't live without by my side, so I promise you this time

They say that everyone has got a song about leaving

I know I've wrote way more than I can count

But the only time that I wasn't grieving

Was when I knew that I could fix this up somehow

So I'll just stay down on my knees

Begging soft oh darling please

To take me to church and let me worship you

Time and again, I've lost my wits, but I can't lose you again

So I promise to be the reason the rhythm and the rhyme

And I promise to be better and grow day I'm by your side

And if you're worried that I might stumble up this mountain I must climb

Then I promise you I won't ever give up on you again this time

Cause I can't live without by my side, so I promise you this time

So let me be your shelter I will weather through the storm

I'll rub your feet each night until you're wrapped up in my arms

And if you're feeling stressed I'll melt away all of your thorns

Until all that's left is flowering a blossom that's your heart

So I promise to be the reason the rhythm and the rhyme

And I promise to be better and grow day I'm by your side

And if you're worried that I might stumble up this mountain I must climb

Then I promise you I won't ever give up on you again this time

Cause I can't live without by my side, so I promise you this time
