"The Promise" lyrics
The Promise nanci hobson June 2011
G C D
G D
There is a rose in a bed of thorns
C G
And it longs to be not alone
G D C
Would you bleed for the touch of it
G
Would you bleed for love
G D
I don’t know but I’d like to try
C G
To touch love….. just one time
G D
As the world takes another turn
C G
So much of me grows old….
C G
….No bird would fly at all
C D
…. If it was afraid to fall
C D
so take my hand I’ll close my eyes
G Em
if you promise just to hold me tight
C D G C D
no I wont …be afraid at all…
G D
Maybe you could try….to teach me…
C G
Maybe I could try …. To believe
D
There are wings inside of me
C G
That have never ………. flown
G D
I’ve got time that is too much
C G
I’’ve got hands that want to touch
G D
And I’m tired of making up
C G
My mind alone….
(REPEAT CHORUS, AND LAST THREE LINES TWICE…)
About my song
Not sure where this song came from, it just came to me one night, after midnight.
