Promises Lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy

I promise you will get old 

I promised you everything 

To protect you wherever you go 

I'll give you this diamond ring 

Just promise you will remember 

A promise should last forever 

Right up to the dying embers 

Of a fire that burns so slow 

It's a different day everyday 

Don't want you to walk alone 

But how will can we carry on 

When all of these things have gone? 

Just promise you will remember 

That promises last forever 

Still after the last dying embers 

Of a fire that burns so slowly 

It's a beautiful thing to do 

Sometimes you just have to walk away 

Remember, I do love you 

Have courage in what you say 

And promise you will remember 

That promises last forever 

Still left of the dying embers 

The fire that burns so slowly 

And sometimes you just have to walk away 

Sometimes you just have to walk away 

Wishing that today was yesterday 

Yeah, sometimes you just have to walk away
