Art Garfunkel - The Promise

You were told to wait there for love
Love said it's waiting for you
It told me I could say
I know it's never easy getting all dressed up
With no place to go
Helpful that's what we're here for
All one together
Harmony gets melody
The orchestra gets its symphony
The continents get seven seas
Boy gets girl and all you got was me
With The Promise I'd try to be honest
I'd like to give you nothing to fear
Lovers get I'm sorry
Music gets to keep a key
Children get to ride for free
Mind and body is all you get of me
And The Promise I'd try to be honest
I'd like to give you nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
You were told to wait there for love
Love said it's waiting for you
It told me I could say
I know it's never easy getting all dressed up
With no place to go
Helpful that's what we're here for
All one together
Harmony gets melody
The orchestra gets its symphony
The continents get seven seas
Boy gets girl and all you got was me
With The Promise I'd try to be honest
I'd like to give you nothing to fear
Lovers get I'm sorry
Music gets to keep a key
Children get to ride for free
Mind and body is all you get of me
And The Promise I'd try to be honest
I'd like to give you nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
