Promises - Badly Drawn Boy Genre/Lang. : Pop/Rock I promise you will get old I promised you everything To protect you wherever you go I'll give you this diamond ring Just promise you will remember A promise should last forever Right up to the dying embers Of a fire that burns so slow It's a different day everyday Don't want you to walk alone But how long can we carry on? When all of these things have gone Just promise you will remember A promise should last forever It's the last of the dying embers Of a fire that burns so slowly It's a beautiful thing to do Sometimes you just have to walk away Remember I do love you Have courage in what you say Just promise you will remember Promises last forever Still left of the dying embers The fire that burns so slowly Sometimes you just have to walk away Sometimes you just have to walk away Wishing that today was yesterday Yeah, sometimes you just have to walk away
