The Promise
Tracy Chapman
From New Beginning

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

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

Remembering your touch
Your kiss, your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

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

Remembering your touch
Your kiss, your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

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

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
In your heart
