Promise
Randy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fallen angels fill the places
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
And all the lies, I know they'll tell me
And the time that they will sell me
For a while, I'll be the biggest man in town
Back at home
For her love for me is dying
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night
When the morning sun starts showing
To her bedside I'll be going
And she'll hold me
While I face the morning light
And I'll make promises
Promises to change
I'll make her promises
Swear I'll rearrange
And I'll start giving all the love she needs
If only she will stay
Once again, she'll reassure me
And I believe her love will cure me
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
And I know she's just a woman
And her love can't last forever
And someday soon
I know she'll leave without a trace
For broken promises will tear her dreams apart
Just token promises will someday break her heart
And for the last time
She'll hold me when I cry and while I'm sleeping
She'll quietly say goodbye
The lyrics to Randy's song "Promise" speak to the cyclical nature of life and death, as well as the inevitability of change. The first verse pleads for someone to promise not to let the singer fall asleep tonight, as they don't want to wake up "one day older than today." This line speaks to the fear of aging and the feeling that time is slipping away too quickly. The second verse takes a darker turn, with the singer asking their loved one not to weep if they were to die in their sleep. The line "No matter what / You can't avoid the great big leap" suggests a sense of resignation to death as a natural part of life.
Line by Line Meaning
Promise me that you won't
Requesting assurance and commitment from the listener
Let me fall asleep tonight
Asking the listener to keep the singer company
So I don't wake up tomorrow
Imploring the listener to prevent the singer from waking up to a new day
One day older than today
Expressing dread about the passage of time and aging
Promise me you won't weep
Begging the listener to refrain from crying
If I die tonight in my sleep
Contemplating the possibility of death
No matter what
Stressing the importance of the listener's reaction
You can't avoid the great big leap
Conveying the idea of an inevitable end
Careless souls natures wonder
Portraying humans as creatures of fate with little control over their destiny
A storm is coming closer over yonder
Using a metaphor to signify an impending crisis or hardship
But then again don't you know
Introducing a contradictory thought
All the pretty ones die young
Reflecting on the phenomenon of early death among attractive people
And they're better of that way
Arguing that early death is preferable to living a long, unhappy life
All the wicked ones die young
Noting the similar trend of early death among immoral or cruel people
Promise me that you won't
Repeating the initial request
Let me fall asleep tonight
Reiterating the desire for company and comfort
So I don't wake up tomorrow
Emphasizing the urgency of the situation
One day older than today
Recalling the previous concern about aging and the inexorable march of time
Either swine or man
Posing a philosophical dichotomy
Survive and struggle as long as you can
Encouraging perseverance and perseverance despite the odds
Either the problem or solution
Offering a binary view of the world
There is nothing in-between then
Affirming the notion of absolute opposites
Victory or come death
Asserting the high stakes of any endeavor
Revolutionary 'til the final breath
Endorsing a radical, unyielding approach to life

I’m completely blown away by this performance. How did I just find this. Randy Travis and Keith Whitley are the most iconic voices is the history of music. Sadly we have lost both of those voices way to soon
