Promise Of You

Edwin McCain · Messenger [1999]

Thepromise of you

It sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know thats it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe, yeah

What secrets sleep in the heart of a man

So much love wasted

Slip right through my hands

See it in the eyes of the lonely

As they make their weary way

Shimmer in the eyes of longing

I hear it say



(Chorus)

Promise of you

It sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe

To believe....



What secrets sleep in the heart of the night

My dreams of salvation

Slipping out of sight

In the shimmering moments of the wilight

Closing up the shine

Whisper on the wind of a rescue

Savior in time



Promise of you

It sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe



And all this time

I've been fighting for my own pirvate war

And all this time

You were the peace I searched for



Chorus
