The Promise
Little League Lyrics

The lyrics of Little League's "The Promise" reflect the importance of forming strong and long-lasting friendships. The opening line "Ninety-eight degrees and I called out to you, to come sit by my side" set the scene for a hot and uncomfortable day. Despite the sweltering heat, the singer called out to their friend to come and sit next to them. The next line "All sweat and no rain makes one hell of a day for promises" reveals the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with making promises in adverse conditions. It suggests that when things are difficult, it's easy to make promises that may not be kept in the future.

However, the following line "you said to me that day...Never let me down, and I'll never let you down" shows a powerful commitment from the friend who assures the singer that they will always be there for each other. The third stanza, "now I'm sittin back and thinking about the time we spit out of our heads....our plans to include ourselves in our blueprints of our future...lives will share" highlights the close bond shared by the singer and their friend. It reinforces the idea of hope and optimism for the future as they plan to share their lives together. The final line "Together forever" speaks to the enduring nature of their friendship.

Overall, "The Promise" emphasizes the importance of choosing the right people to share our lives with, the significance of forming strong relationships and the beauty of loyal friendships that last a lifetime.
