lyrics

What is promise?

now listen up my brown eyed baby
your heavy eyes, oh they weigh me
anchored me down but they saved me
with the love they gave me

we’ll figure it out
we’ll figure it out now
i want you only in my life starting right now
if you can feel
what i feel now
singing all these questions that i have for you now

what is love?
what is promise?
to be your man?
to be your slave?
what is love?
can it promise to keep you warm, to keep you safe?
what is promise?

this home is only a home
and my heart your skipping stone
you wanna leave and see the sights
you’ll count the days, i’ll count the nights

next thing you know, we’re hangin round
life passed you by and you don’t mind ‘cause i’m around
‘cause what you feel is what i feel now
singing all these questions that i have for you now

sing it!
what is love?
what is promise?
to be your man?
to be your slave?
what is promise?
what is love?
can it promise to keep you warm, to keep you safe?
