The Promise (Sung mid-tempo, Reggae-style)

Oh, I'm looking here and there
and just about everywhere for you, girl
And I'll know ya when I see ya
I'm walkin' footstep after footstep
From road to road and town to town
My only mission is to please ya

CHORUS
And if ya don't like what ya see when you run into me
I guess that'll be alright
And if ya don' like what ya hear when I'm commin' near
Everything'll turn out right
No one ever really knows what might be in store for them
So I promised myself I wouldn't give up until I see you again

Now I'm goin' round every corner
An expectation of friendly faces
I can't wait to see your sunny smile
And I'm learnin' the only way to
Find you is first by finding me
But I guess that could take a while

CHORUS
So if my time runs out while I'm searchin' for you
I guess that'll be alright...
Each grain of sand is slippin' on down
Through the hourglass of my life
Nothin' else in the world matters to me anymore
'Cept the promise of your love I'm livin' for

Oh, I'm headin' out day after day now
From path to path and from life to life
I'm so amazed at all the things I've seen
But now I'm thinkin' should I stop movin'
'Cause maybe she's lookin' for me?
Yeah, just maybe she's lookin' for me

CHORUS
If time is runnin' out while you're lookin' for me
I know it will be alright...
Each grain of sand is slippin' on down
Through the hourglass of my life
Until the day when I pass on through that door
It is the promise of your love I am livin' for

FINAL CHORUS
Oh it's the promise, the promise, the promise (Lead: I made a promise to myself long ago, girl...)
The promise of your love that I'm livin' for (Lead: And I don't wanna go through that door just yet, no, no!)
Oh it's the promise, the sweet, sweet promise (Lead: but this is one thing ya just can't hurry...)
The promise of your love that I'm livin' for (Lead: Oh I've been waitin', just waitin', just waitin' on your love!)
