The Promise
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've been together since we met
As soul to soul as two can get
Well, day by day, our hearts entwined
Till I can't tell yours from mine

If could you ever want to go
And make this our last episode
I'll exit with a graceful bow
But I'll always be around

My promise to you is
I'll be there (I'll be there)
With a love that's tried and true
And I promise you
I'll always care
If you need me, I'll soon be there
I'll be there

I won't attempt to have conceal
This boundless joy you make me feel
From way back when to here and now
If you need me, I'll be around

My promise to you
I promise, have no fear
When you need, I'm here for you
And I promise you
I promise, I'll always care,
When you call me I'll be there

My promise to you
I promise, have no fear
When you need, I'm here for you
And I promise you
I promise, I'll always care,
When you call me I'll be there

I'm holding on to this love we share
Anytime you want, I'll be right there

My promise to you
I promise, have no fear
When you need, I'm here for you
And I promise you
I promise, I'll always care,
When you call me I'll be there

My promise to you
I promise, have no fear
When you need, I'm here for you
And I promise you
I promise, I'll always care,
When you call me I'll be there

My promise to you
I promise, have no fear
When you need, I'm here for you
And I promise you




I promise, I'll always care,
When you call me I'll be there
