I PROMISE YOU
(Harold Arlen / Johnny Mercer)
Bing Crosby
Also recorded by:

Victor Silvester, Jo Stafford, Billy Williams.
I promise you a faithful heart
One that has always been free
At night there’s a handful of stars
That I pretend belong to me
I promise you that rich or poor
I would be happy to share
The arms you have taken possession of
The sun on the meadow, afire in the shadow
I promise you I’ll be there.
A faithful heart, a star or two,
And I’ll be there, I promise you.
(Music)
I promise you
(Music)
I would be happy to share
The arms you have taken possession of
The sun on the meadow, afire in the shadow,
I promise you I’ll be there
A faithful heart, a star or two,
And I’ll be there, I promise you.
