Promise You The Moon
Incognito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shinin' like the noon day sun
You gave me a fever
Hypnotized under your spell
Caught in a rapture

There's no use in denyin'
That much is true
There's no other way to say it
I'd die for you


[Chorus]
Whatever you desire
Child?
I give my all to you
Tell me what you desire
Oh child?
I promise you the moon

Late at night with Quincy and Gershwin
It's stronger than ever
This feeling inside
When you're holdin' me baby

So what's the use in denyin'
You know that it is true
There's no other way to say it (No)
I love for you (Only you)

[Chorus]





There's no use in denyin'
I'd die for you
