The Promise Lyrics - Cohen Leonard

(Written By Cohen, Performed In "Night Magic") 

(Judy) Once I was happy to 

Roam through the gold and blue 

Now something haunts me 

I know it's real 

Someone returns 

The desire I feel 

(Angels) We could have passed him by 

(Judy) Should have passed him by 

So many others cry 

(Angels) One more human cry 

(Judy) So many others 

Reaching for 

A thread through the night 

Or one lover more 

He has a dream 

(Angels) It's his dream 

(Judy) I dream it too 

(Angels) It's not your dream 

(Judy) He dreams of the promise 

We swore we would come through 

(Angels) The promise is not yours alone to honor 

(Judy) But we said we'd... 

(Angels) This is not our part 

(Judy) Open his heart 

(Angels) Now it is open 

(Judy) No, now it must start 

(Michael) You promised me whatever was in my heart 

(Angels) We promised him whatever was in his heart 

(Michael) You swore that I could speak from the heart 

(Angels) Yes, we said he'd speak from his heart 

(Michael) Now I have chosen 

And you must obey 

(Judy) I will obey 

(Michael) It's my heart that commands 

And it must have its way 

I want you 

I need you 

I can't live without you 

Anymore 

(Judy) Your heart commands me 

And I will obey you 

I need you 

I can't live without you 

Anymore 

(Judy & Angels) We promised him whatever was 

in his heart 

(Michael) You promised me whatever was 

in my heart 

(Judy & Angels) We said that he could speak 

from the heart 

(Michael) You swore that I could speak 

from the heart 

(Judy) And now he has chosen 

And now I must choose 

Tho' garlands of planets 

And starlight I lose 

(Angels) Now you must choose 

Starlight, starlight 

You're gonna lose him 

(Judy & Michael) I want you, I need you 

I can't live without you 

(Everyone) I want you, I need you 

I can't live without you 

Anymore
