The Promise

If you
Wait for me
Then I’ll
Come for you
Although I’ve traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you
Think of me
If you miss me once in a while
Then I’ll return to you
I’ll return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I’ll find my way back to you
If you’ll be waiting

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that’s warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I’ll find my way back to you
If you’ll be waiting

I’ve longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I’ll find my way back to you
Please say you’ll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it’s one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me

And say you’ll hold
A place
For me
In your heart

A place for me in your heart

The Promise (Album New Beginning) – Tracy Chapman

Vows Unbroken

Long ago we made a vow,

that we would always trust one another.

We knew what lay ahead of us for in that time,

nothing was hidden from our knowing.

Not the hard times or the challenges.

The vow was to remind us of the love we shared.

That vow has been my solace.

During wars, marriages and endless separations.

I have honored that vow.

I trust you and know you will return to me.

In many lifetimes the vow has been repeated.

Sometimes out loud as we held hands and cried at parting.

Sometimes whispered undercover as we prepared to give vows to another.

Others not of our choosing.

Sometimes we were not able to speak at all

and the vow was exchanged through a look

or quietly exchanged through the heart.

Sometimes you had to trust me,

my intuition and inner guidance,

even when it meant putting myself in jeopardy.

Sometimes the vow was recalled as I watched you march off to war

or far away lands.

Never fully knowing if you would return,

I clung to that vow like a drowning man clings to a life preserver.

Even then we knew this would be the hardest lifetime.

The hardest to remember those sacred words.

The one that would challenge our trust to the very core.

I remembered as soon as I looked into your eyes.

I honor our vow still.

I trust you.

Eternally.

It’s All Coming Back To Me Now

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can’t remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made

But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it’s all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It’s so hard to believe but
It’s all coming back to me
It’s all coming back
It’s all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I’d never do again
But then they’d always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow

Baby, Baby, Baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it’s all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it’s all coming back to me
It’s so hard to resist
And it’s all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it’s all coming back to me now
But it’s all coming back

There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse and so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we’d count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever

But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it’s all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it’s all coming back to me

It’s all coming back, it’s all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we’d never do again
But then they’d always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow

Baby, baby, baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it’s all coming back to me

When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it’s all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget

And it’s all coming back to me now
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it’s all coming back to me now
And when you kiss me like this
(It’s all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It’s all coming back to me now)
And if you do it like this
(It’s all coming back to me now)

And if we …

The Secret Marriage

No earthly church has ever blessed our union
No state has ever granted us permission
No family bond has ever made us two
No company has ever earned commission
No debt was paid no dowry to be gained
No treaty over border land or power
No semblance of the world outside remained
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour

The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage never can be broken

No flowers on the altar
No white veil in your hair
No maiden dress to alter
No bible oath to swear

The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage never can be broken

Muziek / Song Lyrics

Bella Luna

Mystery the moon, a hole in the sky
A supernatural night light, so full but often right
A pair of eyes, a closing one, a chosen child in golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars, to farthest reaches of the beach
And far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

The cosmic fish they love to kiss
They’re giving birth to constellations
No riffs and, oh, no reservation
If they should fall you’d get a wish or dedication

May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and I
Let’s take a chance as this romance is rising over
before we lose the lighting

Oh, Bella Bella please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh Bella, do what you do

You are an illuminating anchor
Of leagues to infinite number
Of crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the ebb and flows of hunger

You’re dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You’re the ghost of royalty imposing love

You are the queen and king combining everything
Intertwining like a ring around the finger of a girl
I’m just a singer, you’re the world
All I can bring you is the language of a lover

Bella Luna, my beautiful beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh

May I suggest you get the best
Of your wish may I insist
That no contest for little you or smaller I
A larger chance at what all that may lie
On the rise, on the brink of our lives

Bella please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh Bella, do what you do
Bella Luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other

Onder De Sterren

Kijk naar omhoog
daar schijnt het licht voor jou
‘t is allemaal voor jou
een hemel vol sterren

en is de nacht
soms veel te zwart voor jou
dan teken ik voor jou
een hemel vol sterren

jij houdt je vast aan mij 
en zo dansen wij
onder de sterren

zowaar mijn armen om je heen
de maan schijnt dan voor ons alleen
de nacht neemt ons dan met zich mee
een hemel voor ons twee

Zoals ik val
val ik alleen voor jou
als een ster voor jou
steeds verder

en als ik wens
wens ik alleen maar jou
elke nacht met jou
een hemel vol sterren

zowaar mijn armen om je heen
de maan schijnt dan voor ons alleen
de nacht neemt ons dan met zich mee
een hemel voor ons twee

Kijk daar
daar schijnt het licht voor jou
kijk hoe het schijnt voor jou
kijk naar omhoog

daar schijnt het licht voor jou
‘t is allemaal voor jou
een hemel vol sterren

Both Sides

FROM BOTH SIDES NOW
Joni Mitchell

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way

But now it’s just another show
You leave ‘em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now 
From win and lose and still somehow 
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

I’ve looked at life from both sides now 
From up and down and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

how can I pick one side
when really we are 
both sides
in one

This Is Me

I’m not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
‘Cause we don’t want your broken parts
I’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one will love you as you are

But I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies,

…This Is Me

Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away ‘cause today, I won’t let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that’s what we’ve become

Won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
Gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ‘cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies,

…This Is Me

And I know that I deserve your love
There’s nothing I’m not worthy of
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I’m meant to be,

…This Is Me

Look out ‘cause here I come (look out ‘cause here I come)
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies,

…This Is Me

(Whenever the words wanna cut me down
I’ll send the flood to drown them out)
I’m gonna send the flood, gonna drown them out

… This Is Me

The Luckiest

I don’t get many things right the first time,
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles,
And falls that brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face,
Now I see it every day

And I know
That I am, I am, I am, the Luckiest


What if I had been born fifty years before you
In a house on the street
Where you lived
Maybe I’d be outside as you passed on your bike. 
Would I know?
And in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize

And I know
That I am, I am, I am, the Luckiest


I love you more then I have
Ever found the way to say
To you
Next door there’s an old man who lived to his nineties and one day
Passed away in his sleep,
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days, and passed away
I’m sorry I know that’s a strange way to tell you that I know we belong,

That I know
That I am, I am, I am, the Luckiest
