Promise Me

I sit beside you Take a good long look at you I'm memorizing So I'll always find you Smiling at me in my rearview And the broken white line That takes me from you Promise me You'll wait for me And kiss me one more time Give me all you lonely nights I'll keep 'em here with mine I'll keep 'em here with mine If I could stay in one place I know what I'd do I'd make my living, my love, with you But I work on these stages And I live everywhere And it's everywhere that I want you Promise me You'll wait for me And kiss me one more time Give me all you lonely nights I'll keep 'em here with mine, mine I'll keep 'em here with mine Listen to me When I'm away I'll be singing to you It feels like I just Got home yesterday Now I'm packed and I'm ready With nothing to say I'm counting the white lines In measures of roll time They're broken in pieces Like my heart today Promise me You'll wait for me And kiss me one more time Give me all you lonely nights I'll keep 'em here with mine, mine I'll keep 'em here with mine --- Promise Me - Lucy Kaplansky
