I PROMISE YOU
Kay Kyser & Kay Kyser and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small café, the park across the way
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well
I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the mornin' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll find you in the mornin' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
