I Promised Myself Lyrics
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 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
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...
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
I will wait for you
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 gave you flowers
You made my dreams come true.
...of course this was a song written and sung well before this in 1990 by Nik Kamen (of Madonna and Levi fame). This was actually a good song that did well in eUROPE - except for the UK where his previous songs did not do down well. This osng was dance remixed in 2004, and covered by a few oter artists. The original 90 version is better in my view than the other covers.
The song is clear in the sense it is someone waiting for their lover, promising that they will. I assume however they are not returning and they know that - possibly because they have died.
i love this song! also their music video! i wish they had a reunion! what happened to artists like this?
