Tracy Chapman - The Promise (Lyrics)

[keliegh89]

This song always makes me cry. I have a lot of friends and an ex partner that are currently in afghan and my worst fear is to hear something bad may have happened to them. I have lost one friend out there already. This song would be a message to all those out there to come home safe.

[KayaGaurd]

I accidently clicked on this song, best mistake ever made! <3

[TheJp14450]

What a touching song.

Truly beautiful.

[dannyM7M]

It's true that the minds of mankind built a civilization. But the hearts are the architects behind it all and will be. May the lost and the found of love be a blessing in our lives. Without love, there will always be a hole in our hearts and souls.

[jlc6398]

James... Please come back safely. This deployment has been bad...I miss you so much bro. Semper Fi<3

[fionam0712]

when words cannot express how you feel this is the song for that one special person i will love forever and a day </3 hope one day we work things out <3

[xkellahbabbesx]

I've been on and off with this guy for 4 years.

I live in Louisiana. He lives in Illinois.

And This Christmas Eve&Christmas night. We hung out.

Things hit off great. It was the first time we said we loved eachother. Out of 4 years.

After Christmas night.. I wouldn't be able to see him until this summer. 5 months from now..

We promised to stay single until we see eachother again.

Im falling head over heels in love with him,..

And I'm no where near him.

This song inspires me,&gives me hope<333

[xBostonTerrierPugzx]

I cried=)

[s88rhaxx]

this song puts how i feel about that special person in my life i so love him

[zam948]

This song came like the ring to the finger ):

[bask3t]

Love is the most painful feeling in the world, when its gone...

[cocotepoulette]

[PS3Original]

There's this girl I met months ago when I moved to another state, if it was not for her, I think my days on that place would be boring as hell. She was always there for me when I needed her, turns out that girl was moving to the state I lived before! So I moved back into my old state and things happened between us and we stopped talking to each other, but I always realized she was the girl for me, and now I will see her on 2 days to get things straight between us, I hope everything turns well <3

[abritinalamo]

@PS3Original hope it turns out well bro! Good luck and never ever give up!

[83hawaiiangirl]

I miss my little boy and this song reminds me of him and the promise I made him. Not a second goes by that I don't think about him and the times we spent together!

what a song, make a grown man fucking cry

[101sasusaku]

I live in Mexico Right now I have the most amazing guy by my side. I am only 15 years old, my parents want to move back to the U.S. I have 2 years with my boyfriend and I know we can be togethere for much more but I´m scared. I really dont want to leave him. I have lived in the U.S. before, I lived in Utah all my childhood and 3 years ago we moved back. I´m really scared and confused for some reason. I don´t want to end it now and we have talked but still it´s scary! What should I do ):

[EP28]

@101sasusaku it's tough but if you truly love him you should let him go for now and if it's meant to be god will bring him back to you one day

[krisnnaabraham]

amazing man thnaks .

[EatThemSkittles]

I love this song. Everytime I listen to it I cry so much. Im having a long distance relationship with my bf too and this reminds me of us..

[encoreprincessboo89]

Should my boyfriend and I try long distance?

[flubberlover1]

@encoreprincessboo89 yes you should I've been dating my girlfriend long distance for 2 years now and i've only seen her 2 weeks out of the 2 years it's really really hard but it's worth it :)

[IsCoolSilke]

I just discovered her. I'm 13 and I've endured a lot of crappy music but this... WOW

[captkamikazi]

I never log into YouTube, and rarely post a comment after being on here for years. I just wanted to thank you for uploading this and me finding it....what an incredible song and every lyric hits how I feel about my own personal situation. So thanks DaddysLilGirlAlways :)

[snagglepuff89]

[kikiperson1]

My mother sent me the link to this song....my parents have been separated since i was a baby and so i only see my mom during school breaks(three times a year) this song totally represents us....i just wish she would come see me..it breaks my heart to know that she has to havea reason to come home other then to see her 15 year old daughter who is at a stage where they want their mother most...I love you momma and thanks for finally coming to see me! I will always love you!

[jsdmclg]

[stefanburgiz]

whats the font please

[stefanburgiz]

@faithpenalosa - your so wrong, you was just fooled by the promiser, a promise is a vow the same as in marriage so just dont be easily fooled if the person can promise you anything then its 101% broken if the person says some stuff they cant promise then all the other promises are 89 % true depends on the person too and how they are as a person : )

[hannahandkayla]

Absolutely beautiful.

[mohasom]

[Kyoto18Uzumaki]

This song is one of my all time favorites. It makes me sooo melancholy every time I hear it and I want to cry. She was such a good singer and I always really felt her music. Great song!

[AshJarvis]

@Kyoto18Uzumaki hey man she's a he its tracy chapman

[Kyoto18Uzumaki]

@AshJarvis Why don't you guys research and look her up. Look at her website. She's a girl. I know what I'm talking about and don't need to be corrected. Thanks.

[stefanburgiz]

@Kyoto18Uzumaki - Yeah your right mate, there so fu cking stupid anyone can tell shes a woman the voice gives it away and the chest lolz

[Kyoto18Uzumaki]

@stefanburgiz Lol right. The voice is definitely not male.

[idonthaveausernamelc]

@AshJarvis I used to think so to but she's a girl.

[TASMme]

@Kyoto18Uzumaki

AAYYYY tracy chapmans a man

[minneapolisfalling]

i think of both a former love, who suffered with breast cancer so valiantly and so courageously ....

and a father, who suffered long and so tirelessly w cancer also....and simply died saying he loved his entire family...constantly and

then my son young tender age only son Joshua

who i so miss again every wed at 830 pm precisely as i drive up to his mom's home, let him out, as he turns at least three times to tell me he loves me every single time, just before he disappears in his new residence

[sonic2u]

is this song about not promising haha

[jijie8182]

[NiaBugLovesYa]

Im in a long distance relationship and im in high school so its really hard bc for one people hate the fact of him being away in some other school and me being happy with just him in high school bc your always tooo young to fall in love well i dont think anybody should not like a relationship bc if the people are happy and they treat each other right isn't that all that matters...?

[snagglepuff89]

@NiaBugLovesYa i'm going through the same thing tooi know exactly how you feel. it sucks, but true love will get you through the darkness and led you to the light. keep strong and never let him slip away

I admit it was my fault but right now I know she's still the one and I don't know how to fixed all the mess I did, especially right now she's in good hands already, with a guy who's willing to give his all for Ella.

[xXMaryRevolutionXx]

this song is love. <3

[darkwolf195299]

My boyfriend showed me this song because it reminded him of me. He has a hard time listening to it because it makes him cry every time. He lost his father to cancer when he was a child and his mother played this song at his father's funeral. I love him with all of my heart. I cannot believe a song that has so much of a meaning to him would remind him of me. (':

[SilverxStallion]

@darkwolf195299 aw, that's sweet. (:

[toni0217]

I am crying right now.... i love this song.... its not just beautiful but a touching and loving song...

[BrookieeeMonsterrr]

This song makes me want my dad back. He's not dead just doesn't seem to want anything to do with me, I love you dad and would do anything for you to just talk to me again...I miss you so much :(
