The Promise Lyrics - Singles - The Iveys

Cast a number into the sea 

Here's a billion more you can throw away 

It disappeared or I lost it somewhere 

A year ago in the month of May 

The only promise that we made to each other was 

We'd try to save 

Ourselves from falling into the same fate 

As everyone else but it died just the same 

Chorus: 

But all the lights still shine 

And as the days go by 

You've got to pick yourself up off the ground 

And come back in from the outside 

Reach out, reach out, there's somebody there 

We're not supposed to be alone 

It's fragile times as I gain in age 

And we know less than we did as a child 

It disappeared or I lost it somewhere 

But it's been gone from me for a while 

The only promise that we made to each other was 

We'd try to save 

Ourselves from falling into the same fate 

As everyone else but we ended the same 

Chorus: 

All the lights still shine 

And as the days go by 

You've got to pick yourself up off the ground 

And come back in from the outside 

Reach out, reach out, there's somebody there 

We're not supposed to be alone 

Bridge: 

Hope is always there within a shattered dream 

Chorus: 

All the lights still shine 

And as the days go by 

You've got to pick yourself up off the ground 

And come back in from the outside 

Reach out, reach out, there's somebody there 

We're not supposed to be alone 

We're not supposed to be alone
