Promises - Joan Armatrading

Come to me baby

Stay by my side

Don’t try to fake it

With little white lies

I want you to be always by my side

The burden of proof is for you to deny

I found you out

Now let’s do whatever it takes

For us to survive

Promise love that never dies

Paint a blue and perfect sky

Come to me baby

Stay by my side

Where we stand now

Is our default line

I want you to be always by my side

We’ve both made mistakes

But we’re human and so

As much as we think we’re infallible

We get it wrong sometimes

Promise love that never dies

Paint a blue and perfect sky

Everything changes

As much as we wish

There is nothing that remains

And this feeling

That we’re both searching for

It’s elusive like chasing the clouds

Still I want you to

Come to me baby

Promise love that never dies

Paint a blue and perfect sky

Promise love that never dies

Paint a blue and perfect sky
