I promised myself I promised I'd wait for you The midnight hour I know you'll shine on through I promised myself I promised the world to you I give you flowers You make 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 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 theirs? God I know what people say about her No mistake, who can live without love? (I promised myself That I'd wait for you) How many of us out there Feel the pain of losing what was once theirs? God I know what people say about her No mistake, who can live without love? I promised myself I promised I'd wait for you The midnight hour I know you'll shine on through I promised myself I promised the world to you I give you flowers You make my dreams come true In the midnight hour I will wait for you I will wait for you I will wait for you In the midnight hour I will wait for you I will wait for you I will wait for you
