Verse 1

I promised myself   
I promised I'd wait for you  
The midnight hour  
I know you'll shine on through  

Verse 2

I promised myself   
I promised the world to you  
I gave you flowers 
You made my dreams come true   

Chorus 1

How many of us out there
Feel the need to run and look for shelter

Verse 3

I promised myself   
That I'd say a prayer for you  
A brand new tomorrow  
Where all you wish comes true  

Verse 4

I promised myself   
That I'd make it up to you  
My sister and brother  
Know I'm in love with you  

Chorus 2

How many of us out there
Feel the pain of losing what was once there
God, I know what people say about her
No mistake, who can live without love?
