Tracy Chapman - The Promise Lyrics






If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me
If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be in your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me

And say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.

A place for me in your heart. [3x]

    Um abraço é o suficiente para alguém ganhar um lugar no coração de outro alguém! Coisas k não se explicam mas são reais, até porque por vezes um abraço pode requerer muita coragem aínda k se pareça fraco!

    on my road trip back I decided to listen to "The Best of Tracy Chapman" Because... well she's amazing. Her cover of Stand By Me on David Letterman led me to purchase a CD... something I haven't done in years! And boom this song hits... Hits you in the feels....

  14. j.... s....

    I'm in love with a woman who lives 300 miles away and this song makes me sad and gives me hope at the same time. Our relationship has always been somewhat complicated, not just by the distance, but because we are both such deep feeling people. My heart seems to break every day, but at the same time it rejoices that she loves me. Please wait for me, Laurie. I love you more than I can say.

  15. H.... B....

I couldn't turn a way from him. He was always kind, as he visited me on my grandparents 19 inch Black and white. Larger than life he was, and still is to me.

    At age 13 my beautiful, loyal and amazing service lay in my arms dying from a tumour in her heart. I said the words of this song to her as I felt her take her last breath. She guided me through my life when I needed her most. Always putting my needs first. Selfless and loving... losing Bonnie was both painful and beautiful. No one knew me as completely as she did. She tried to live as long as she could.. and when she could no longer continue she picked Christmas Day to leave this world.

  45. Y.... K....

    My mom use to play this when I was a little boy, it always touched my heart.

    Y.... K....

    Mine did too

  46. V.... B....

    Son tan bonitos los futuros recuerdos que aún nos quedan por vivir, sueño una vida junto a ti Richards U KIII. TQMK ♡♡ forever
    Aún en la distancia y en la posible cercanía. Pienso tanto en mi pensamiento, Dios nos proteja.

  47. R.... ....

    Try to make a face of the one your looking for

  48. m.... v....

    Even if I don't need to return, because I never real leave once...
    Many years went but, man it's you, and always be.
    Safety place in the world is your face.
    And I'm so grateful for life, to find my way back to you when life fall apart.
    My best unicorn thing in the planet is us.

  49. K.... M....

    This is for the one you truly love . And yes , I'll return to you . ♡♡

  62. A.... C....

    Perfect funeral song. Poignant, honest and truthful. Must have it played. It will impact her more than you will ever know. And when given time for her emotions to settle so she can decipher I believe this is the perfect eulogy to give her.

  63. G.... M....

    First heard this as a Silent Song on one of her CD's
    Can't get enough 💖

  64. C.... H....

    I really love this song it always makes me cry...

  65. W.... B....

    wonderfull ! Thank You !!

  66. M.... M....

    This song just reminds me that love is so simple makes me think if we are all destined for someone and if that person is thinking about you right now not knowing one day you’ll meet and all the heartbreak and games other ppl have played will not matter anymore because you found that unconditional love . I wonder if this is true .

  67. l.... ....

    I love it so much... a love so deep l that it inspires one to sketch them. Deep, heartfelt sigh.

  68. l.... l....

    I’ll pray for you...

  73. J.... B....

    Tamar daughter sitting at crossroads... her body mingled with sweat, Touched deranged sweetness caught... by the perfumed air... poignant like a toll booth where a baby was born... yet I have desired to see your face... so covered by veil... please say you’ll be waiting...

  74. M.... L....

    In My Soul...

  75. M.... L....

    A soul is a coat of many collors. You have been one of the brightest stars carrying me thru my darker, collar-full times. Well, It's shady characters here and there anyway, I suppose, for everyone, some far more than the Otters. Music gives us hope to find the Silver Lining (Me) in a reflection of the Moon on a starry, starry night that mirrors a voice of a Sänger(in) ushering a rain - bowing to all the maimed hearts. Und Sie ist (Du bist) Luna, by the Way. And Venus. Y'all have been all that to me and more. Funny, how someone happens to be a planet, a celestial being, a star, a guardian and a shoulder to lean on. All that I need is some notes from time to time. All we need is Laaf and we know what Milky Way is made of. Helps when gazing from Copper fields to those of Barley & Jade. And chariot of the Sun carried me back home, to the Vedun Ensemble from Slovenija, now on course.

    Si tú me esperas
    Entonces vendré para ti
    Aunque he viajado lejos
    Siempre tengo un espacio para ti en mi corazón
    Si tú piensas en mí
    Si me extrañas de vez en cuando
    Entonces volveré a ti
    Volveré y llenaré ese espacio en tu corazón
    Recordando
    Tu tacto
    Tu beso
    Tu cálido abrazo
    Encontraré mi camino de vuelta a ti
    Si tú estas esperando
    Si tú sueñas conmigo
    Como yo sueño contigo
    En un lugar que es cálido y oscuro
    En un lugar donde puedo sentir el latido de tu corazón
    Recordando
    Tu tacto
    Tu beso
    Tu cálido abrazo
    Encontraré mi camino de vuelta a ti
    Si tú estas esperando
    He deseado para ti
    Y he deseado
    Ver tu cara tu sonrisa
    Estar contigo dondequiera que estés
    Recordando
    Tu tacto
    Tu beso
    Tu cálido abrazo
    Encontraré mi camino de vuelta a ti
    Por favor di que estarás esperando
    Juntos otra vez
    Se sentiría tan bien de estar
    En tus brazos
    Donde todos mis viajes acaban
    Si tu puedes hacer una promesa
    Si es algo que puedes mantener
    Me comprometo a venir para ti
    Si tu esperas para mi
    Y di que tendrás
    Un espacio para mi
    En tu corazón

    Te quiero virginia rodriguez vidal 😘😘😘😘😘

    When I lived in fullerton for a short time, my dad worked nights so day time he would rest. Mom's started tripping on both of us, so we migrated to cypress to get away from the drama. He worked at disneyland which wasn't a bad commute from fullerton, actually closer, I stayed in fullerton, no ends no ammends brother had his own life. I used the garage to chill while mom's was upstairs, I stayed. One day I had a dream while I was asleep in the garage. Tracy a female I had known and served in the ministry with appeared in my dream. She was two. I had rented a room from tracy in real life in Inglewood so being in Fullerton in this dream it was crazy. She was two. In the dream she was split into two people, I saw one person pass, it was tracy, I saw another person in the house who was also tracy. Real shit. Crazy.
