I Promised Myself - Nick Kamen

I promised myself I promised I'd wait for you In the midnight hour I know you'll shine on through I promised myself I promised the world to you I gave you flowers You made my dreams come true How many of us out there feel the need To run and look for shelter? I promised myself That I'd say a prayer for you A brand new tomorrow Where all you wish comes true I promised myself (I promised, I promised) That I'd make it up to you My sister and brother Know I'm in love with you How many of us out there Feel the pain of losing what was once there? God, I know what people say about her No mistake, who can live without love? I promised myself (I promised, I promised) In the midnight hour I will wait for you (for you) I will wait for you (I'll be waiting) I will wait for you (I will wait for you) In the midnight hour I will wait for you (for you, ooh) I will wait for you (I will wait for you) I will wait for you (I will wait for you) I promised myself (I promised, hey, yeah) I promised I'd wait for you (I promised I'd do, I'd do) In the midnight hour (I promised, I promised) I know you'll shine on through (I know you'll shine on through) I promised myself (I promised, I promised) I promised the world to you (I promised the world to you) I gave you flowers (I gave you flowers) You made my dreams come true (you made my dreams come true)

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain sometime When you take, you gotta give So live and let live and let go, oh-oh-oh I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden I could promise you things like big diamond rings But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover So you better think it over Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true I would give you the world right now on a silver platter But what would it matter? So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain sometime I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if that's what it takes to hold you, I'd just as soon let you go But there's one thing I want you to know You'd better look before you leap, still waters run deep And there won't always be someone there to pull you out And you know what I'm talking about So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain sometime I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain sometime
