Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

@Keith Clark I know the footage. It’s where Morris Pleasure - a keyboard player - totally outplayed Verdine as a bass player. The rare moments that Verdine actually plays with sound on stage, are his so called “bass solo’s” which are aweful. But people love him for the way he performs and act on stage. People don’t care what notes he plays or what he does anyway. As long as he’s jumping, smiling, wave his hair, run, jumps around with a stinky face people are chanting. His “solo’s” are wack. No groove, not in the pocket, no funk and all he does are 4 notes on repeat and act as if it’s hard work. Dude, I’ve seen him live on stage, on videos and at the NAMM shows. To me, wether it’s live or on video, I can see clearly he’s faking it. I’ve never been impressed by him. Just listen to his solo’s. Even if you are not a soloist and more a groovy pocketplayer, then wtf is he doing with his solo’s? So wack! He is not the recording bass player on all the albums cause he is not that tight playing high level funk player.

@Maartje Tipoe Go watch EWF performance on A&E from 1998 on YouTube. Verdine and Morris Pleasure do double bass guitar set on the song Getaway

@Junkman2000 Who cares how old I am. I’m old enough to see that Verdine has been acting on bass for decades.

@Maartje Tipoe
You obviously ain't old enough to know how music videos are made.

I dislike, cause Verdine White was fake on bass again.

Philip Bailey Jr. is probably in a good place. Touring with one of the best bands in the land,playing and singing next to his Pops and surrounded by wisdom.... what a life.
