Lyric Promises

By: Easther & Vernie Bennett
Been around the world
Seen all I can see through the look in your eye
Touch my hand and I cry
Why baby, can t I feel this way all the time?
Looking out the window, I feel so distant from you
There s so much I can give you
Just give me a chance
To show you my love and affection
Baby let s start again and prove our love
Cause if it s wrong or right this is how I feel
I know I can make things right
You promise me always to be there through thick and thin
Been around the world
Seen all I can see through the look in your eye
Touch my hand and I cry
Why baby, can t I feel this way all the time?
When our bodies are united
It gives me peace and joy and brings me sweet memories
The promises you made don t mean anything any more
Baby let s start again and prove our love
Coz if it s wrong or right this is how I feel
I know I can make things right
Baby let s start all over again, I ll try
Been around the world
Seen all I can see through the look in your eye
Touch my hand and I cry
Why baby, can t I feel this way all the time?
Said we d spend all our lives
Making plans that would last all the time, oh
There are no guarantees, my life is full of surprises
Been around the world
Seen all I can see through the look in your eye
Touch my hand and I cry
Why baby, can t I feel this way all the time?
