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.

    It's about a gal who is ignored by her boyfriend but wants him badly. She too hd tried different things but she is ready to go back to him if he promises to love her again. She is missing and remembering their intimate moments of the past. She might have flirted wit a number of boys but his partner is the only one she loves.

    This song is about being in love from a distance and promising to come back as long as the other person promises to be there when he or she comes back. It's about all the thing a person to feel their lover is as close as a thought away and when they come back how incredible is to be there. Almost unreal in a way and trying to hold on to that feeling as they part again.
