Your Promise to Be Mine - The Drifters

To lose you would break my heart

You said that we would never part

But I won’t hold you to your promise

Your promise to be mine

I’ll be lonely when you are gone

Some way, somehow I’ll, I’ll carry on

Still I won’t hold you to your promise

Your promise to be mine

After all in loving you

Who could think you could ever leave me

But now I’m I’m hurt, so hurt

Because you want to be free

I’ll miss you, everyone knows

That’s the way life goes

Still I won’t hold you to your promise

Your promise to — be — mine
