I Promise Myself
Jose Galisteo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 your 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

I promised myself that I would wait for 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 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

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 promised myself
