One Promise Too Late
(dave loggins, lisa silver, don schlitz)
I would have waited forever
If Id known that youd be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held each other close all through the years
But Ive met someone before you
And my heart just couldnt wait
So no matter how much I adore you
Ive got to stand behind the promise that I made
Chorus:
Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you
When I gave my heart away
All my life Ive been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
I wont say that Im sorry that I met you
I cant have you but I never will forget you
Repeat chorus x2

I Would Do For You
I didnt mean to be so late
Its just that I got talking
I had a drink with a couple of mates
Missed my bus and wound up walking
I tried to call and let you know
It was busy and I couldnt get through
I didnt want to let you down
I know how much it hurts you
I dont know what came over me
It must have slipped my mind
Ill try and make it up to you
Lets leave the past behind
I promise that Ill do my best
To mend my wicked ways
And dont believe the things you hear
Dont listen to what they say
(chorus)
I would do for you
All youd have me do
All you have to do
Is ask me to
All you have to do
Is tell me when
And Ill come running back again
If theres something wrong then let me know
Dont bottle things inside
Your pretty eyes can melt my heart
Your sadness they cant hide
Please try and give me one more chance
To set the record straight
Meet me here tomorrow night
And I promise I wont be late
(chorus)
I would do for you.......(etc)

This I Promise You
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes.
And all that surrounds you,
Are secrets and lies.
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone.
The one you should call,
Was standing here all alone.
CHORUS
And I will take you in my arms,
And hold you right were you belong.
'Til the day my life is through...
This I promise you...
This I promise you...
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before.
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore.
I give you my word,
I give you my heart.
This is a battle we've won.
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes,
Each lovin' day.
And know this feeling won't go away.
'Til the day my life is through...
This I promise you...
Over and over I fall...
When I hear you call...
Without you in my life, baby.
I just wouldn't be living at all...
CHORUS
And I will take you in my arms,
And hold you right were you belong.
'Til the day my life is through...
This I promise you, baby.
Just close your eyes,
Each lovin' day.
And know this feeling won't go away.
Every word I say is true...
This I promise you...
I promise you...

Keep The Promise
(j.p. maunick/r. bull/r. taylor)
Felt so good when we started
The future burnt so bright
From the moment our eyes met
We knew that it was so right
We have each other
And I believe we have the power
To make it happen
Chorus:
(keep the promise)
(can we keep the promise)
Can we keep it
(keep the promise alive)
Oh
(keep the promise)
(can we keep the promise)
(keep the promise alive)
I believe in the notion
We have dreams to fulfill
I believe in forever
I know that I always will
You are the reason
Baby I cannot shake this feelin
Lets make it happen
Repeat chorus
It gets better, it gets stronger all the time
And Ive discovered that theres one thing on my mind
Keep the promise alive

Promises
When I think about the turn my life has taken
I know its because of you, that I receive so many blessings
I had a home but no privacy, I didnt know a thing about my legacy
When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came
And you did, just what you said, for that Ill love you forever
You kept, your word to me, for that Ill love you forever
Chorus
A promise, is a promise in my eyes
Cant say youre gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you cant deny, theres no way
I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old
Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his
Own
It wasnt easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance
At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed
And she did, just what she said, for that hell love her forever
She kept her word to him, for that hell love her forever
Chorus
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
Cant say youre gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you cant deny, theres no way
A mans only as good as his word
[instrumental break]
Check this out
Her wedding day and shes thinking bout the way he won her affection
She was so cynical about love cause she didnt want to be heart broken again
He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so
She
Took a chance on him and shes glad she did because he came for real
And he did, just what he said, for that shell love him forever
He kept his word to her, for that shell love him forever
Chorus:
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
Cant say youre gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you cant deny, theres no way
No way, no, there aint no way
A mans only as good as his word

Promises
Two hearts that shouldnt
Talk to each other become close
In a town much like a prison cell
People speak our names
On the street in hushed tones
Oh the stories theyd tell
If anyone would listen
You come from a town where
People dont bother saying hello
Unless somebodys born or dies
And I come from a place where they
Drag your hopes through the mud
Because their own dreams are all dying
And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
The sounds of the night should make us anxious
But its much to late when the fear is gone
I will meet you in the next life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise
Theres so many fighting
To get past the pearly gates
But nobody ever wants to die or get saved
Their intentions arent that good
And I can smell the asphalt
Thats their personal road to hell being paved
And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
But its much to late when the fear is gone
I will meet you in the next life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise
Solo - pitrelli / solo - mustaine
I will meet you in the next life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

You & A Promise
She was nervous, she was late
She left it up to fate
Stading at a phone
And she knows what she wants
And she came here to take it
How perfect it could be
You and me
And she met him at the door
"I don't want you anymore"
"Remember what you said?"
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
You...
Turned and he didn't wait
He walked right thru the gate
So gald to be alone
And he knows who to call
"I'll always be there for you,
call me anytime"
"I don't mean to offend,
the voice on the other end
is a stranger to me"
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
You...
And they say to themselves
And they say to themselves
How could I ever let this happen
You and a promise...
You and a promise...
You...

I Wouldnt Go That Far
(dana mcvicker, bruce burch, vip vipperman)
Ill never forget that night long ago
When he drove me down that old dusty road
He took me as far as Id ever been
He wanted me and I wanted him
But Id always been told I shouldnt give in
Chorus:
I wouldnt go that far
I didnt follow my heart
He said he loved me
But I wasnt ready
And I wouldnt go that far
He was so patient, he didnt give up
With a ring in his hand and a heart full of love
He asked me for forever, I asked him to wait
To please understand these dreams I must chase
Though it was a promise I wanted to make
Repeat chorus
After all these years. I saw him again
He had his wife and his family with him
He said he was proud of all my success
He guessed both of us had found happiness
Repeat chorus
Yes, I knew he loved me
But I wasnt ready
And I wouldnt go that far

Ill Never Find Someone Like You
Oh, Ill never find
Ill never find some one like you
Girl you take my breath away
And when Im with someone new
Id rather be here with you baby forever
My heart belongs to you
cause I think about you all the time

And my feelings I give to you

Baby forever
Oh, you dont know that youre hurting me
cause its not just a sexual thing
I wanna share my dreams
Baby together, oh

My hearts telling me to hold on to my love
But when you get close
I want you to know
I start to get weak
And I cant let you go

Just your smile
Thats all I need
Tenderness

Shake me up, take me up

You And A Promise
She was nervous,
She was late,
She left it up to fate,
Standing at a phone.
And she knows what she wants...
And she came here to take it...
How perfect it could be, you and me.
And she met him at the door...
"I don't want you anymore..."
Remember what you said.
You and a promise.
You and a promise.
You...
He turned and he didn't wait.
He walked right through the gate
So glad to be alone.
And he knows who to call...
"I'll always be there for you.."
"Call me anytime..."
I don't mean to offend,
The voice on the other end
Is a stranger to me.
You and a promise.
You and a promise.
You...
And they say to themselves...
And they say to themselves...
"How could I ever let this happen?"
You and a promise.
You and a promise.
"Take me back, I let this happen."

Promise Me You'll Try
I know it's on your heart
That a love like ours shall never fall apart
You're so afraid of the rain
So I will take your hand
And I'll love you in the best way that I can
And I only expect the same
[CHORUS:]
Don't promise me forever
Don't promise me the sun and sky
Don't pretend to know you'll never make me cry
Just hold me now
And promise me you'll try
Though I'm sure of what I feel
Never thought a love so true felt so unreal
And I'm a little afraid myself
But if you love me day by day
With an honest heart and just a little faith
Baby time will tell the tale

Say A Little Prayer
Mr. moonlight...shinebright
Show me my mr. right
Lights, camera, action
I wanna be his sole distraction
Cupid draw your bow
Shoot it nice and slow
Send it straight to his heart
Love dont let him go
You must let him know
This is love from the start

Say a little prayer
Say a little prayer for me tonight
Say a little prayer
Say a little prayer for my hear tonight
Mama always told me

What you get is not what you see
Im not taking any chances
No more broken romances
Cupid draw your bow fetch

I promise to always love and care for him
And I promise...to do my very best for him
I promise...to cherish him for all of my life
I promise...to always love and care for him
And I promise...Ill always be there for him
I promise...to love him for the rest of my life

You're stringing me along
With just a hope to carry on

And you know i've tried
To keep my tears held back inside

But why am i waiting for you
When you treat me like you do

You can't keep me hanging on
Now the magic's gone

My love just can't wait
I'm over dreaming over you

There was no room inside your heart
And i'd be better on my own
Than have a heart without a home
My waiting days are through
I'll be no more a fool for you

Take Good Care
Ive been broken-hearted
It felt like my world was caving in, leaving me lonely
It felt like my head was in a spin
Id too and Id turn all night, wondering how it came to be
Ive been there, and I never will return
If youre honest, girl (honest, girl)
You will be my world (be my world)
And Ill be there if you take good care forever
Chorus:
Take good care of my heart, and I wont let you down, girl
Take good care of my heart, Ill always be around, girl
Take good care of my heart, and I will leave you never
If you take good care forever
Id do about anything
To show you that my love is strong enough
Whether its rain or shine
Even when the going gets too tough
Ill be there, on this, you can rely
If youll be my girl (be my girl)
Ill promise the world (promise the world)
And my love, Ill share if you take good care forever

There was a girl of my dreams (girl of my dreams)

The Way It Should Be
J. spinks
Picture an ocean - that no one else can see
A sea of emotion - just made for you and me
Id promise you anything if youd - listen to my plea
(chorus)
And if you let me love you - Id show you the way it
Should be
Yes if you let me love you - Ill show you the way it
Should be
Picture a sad man - alone inside his dreams
Its just how I feel when - I try to make you see
That you could have anything if youd - put your trust
In me
(chorus)
Im always afraid of what you might think of me
It could all be the same - the way that it used to be
Picture a castle where - a fool is all you see
Im living in hope that one day - you might rescue me
cos Id wait forever if I - thought youd set me free

Why should we only wait a promise?
Why should we only wait a promise?
Only be passive and wait
The promise that is going more far and far everyday
Why should we only wait a promise?
The promise from a man rules in the sky
When your neighbor waits outside
Why should we only wait a promise?
Why do you not embrace with hope
The promise you wait is already running towards you
