Song of the Day: Tracy Chapman (and Brandi Carlile) - The Promise

Two versions of this song.  The original, and a cover by Brandi Carlile.  It's just a slow, beautiful song.  One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I hesitate to mention this, but this was also my wedding song.  So it makes me a little sad to hear it now.  Nevertheless, I deeply love this song and you, my seven* readers, should know just how special it is to me.

Tracy Chapman Lyrics

"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 awhile
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. [3x]
