Jeoffrey was already involved in the Christian music business since the 70s when his son expressed interest in following in his footsteps; their eponymous debut album was released in 1995. Their goal was to show a positive model of the father/son relationship. After their last album release in 1999, the duo disbanded to follow individual careers: Jeoffrey released a self-titled album in 2000 and Aaron is currently a member of the band Dirt Road Hotel.
Promise Me
Aaron Jeoffrey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's four o'clock in the morning and it's starting to get light
Now I'm right where I wanna be, losing track of time
But I wish that it was still last night
You look like you're in another world but I can read your mind
How can you be so far away, lying by my side
When I go away I'll miss you and I will be thinking of you
Just promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon
When I go away I'll miss you and I will be thinking of you
Every night and day
Just promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home, I'll be home
Promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon
The lyrics to Aaron Jeoffrey's "Promise Me" paint a vivid picture of a moment between two people in the early hours of the morning. The scene is set with the lighting of a cigarette and the pouring of wine, and we can almost feel the stillness of the moment as the night slowly turns into morning. The singer expresses a desire to stay in this moment forever, to lose track of time and hold onto the feeling of being with the person they love.
But there's an underlying sense of sadness and longing in the song as well, as the singer anticipates leaving and being separated from their loved one. They ask for a promise of faithfulness, a commitment to waiting for them to return home. This promise seems to be the only thing that can bring them comfort amidst the uncertainty and distance that separate them.
The lyrics are simple, but the emotions they evoke are powerful and relatable. The longing for love and connection, the fear of being apart, and the hope for a reunion are all themes that resonate with listeners. Ultimately, "Promise Me" is a song about the power of love to transcend distance and time, and the importance of holding onto that love through all of life's ups and downs.
