The Promise            

Tracy Chapman

If you        1    (to wait) for me
Then         2      (to come) for you
Although            3     ( to travel) far
I always              (to hold) a place for you in my heart

If you      4      (to think) of me
If you           5       (to miss) me once in a while
Then          6         (to 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       7     (to dream) of me
Like I        8      (to 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         9      (to find) my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

Oh, I've longed for you
And        10       (to desire) 

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       11       (to be able) keep
I vow to come for you
If you       12      (to wait) for me

And say you       13     (to hold)
A place for me
In your heart

A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart
