Drifters, The - Your Promise To Be Mine Lyrics
To lose you would break my heart
You said that we would never part
But I won't hold you to your promise
Your promise to be mine
Some way, somehow I'll, I'll carry on
Still I won't hold you to your promise
Your promise to be mine
After all in loving you
Who could think you could ever leave me
But now I'm I'm hurt, so hurt
Because you want to be free
I'll miss you, everyone knows
Still I won't hold you to your promise
Your promise to - be - mine

Drifters, The Your Promise To Be Mine Comments

The ending of this song knocks me out everytime!

I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE SYNDI
what a original group fabulous song and arrangement great group gill 382
This probably the best drifters song ever and Gerhart Trasher owns it, he was untouchable.
Extraordinary.
you're so right. fabulous singing and arrangement. cult author 'jason fury' used this very song in his most famous story, 'last of the seven beauties,' about seven amature men meeting for the last time. you can find it in story collection, "eric's body' by Jason Fury. Great story collection
Spell his name right! Geez, what jerks on this site.
Simply breathtaking
Almost too good to be true......Ultimate reading of this classic!!!!!
Gerhart Thrasher on lead!........The Bomb!
Typically great Drifters song
What a FANTASTIC cut from the Original Drifters.... I came across a great cover by a group out of the Philly area recently, Cornerstone, featuring Harry Schmitt on lead. If you have a chance take a look at it, and turn those speakers up, he really does the tune justice. Long live ALL the Drifters and the music they gave us.......
Yes, one of the earliest--and greatest--rock 'n' roll songs. Profound.
This record gives me the chills! Even after all these years!!
Great song, fabulous group. Gerhart Thraser and Johnny Moore of the early Drifters were unquestionably, two of the finest and most under appreciated lead singers of any vocal group, ever! Thanks so much for posting this.
I love this song too because my uncle Gerhart (Gerhart Thrasher) is singing lead and my uncle Bubba (Andrew Thrasher) is singing too!
Never knew who sang lead on Promise To Be Mine or Drifting Away. Just knew that whoever was singing was fabulous. Your uncle was amazing! I'm only sorry that both he and Johnny Moore didn't receive the publicity and the credit they both deserved.
PhDNaturalMe I don't mean to pry, but do you know why your uncle Gerhart didn't have more leads? He had a fantastic voice.
thefonz003 I don't know, but he did have a great voice!
Your uncles were wonderful singers!
from the group came the star clyde mc phatter
Perfection!
greatest group song ever gill382
LOVE THIS !
killer song
U promise to be mine ?? I miss you, and everyone knows that's the way life goes . 3
I would have to say this is the best song the Drifters ever recorded. Gerhart Thrasher was the man, he owned this song, he had true emotion in his heart & his pipes!
Your uncles were very talented. This is one of the greatest recordings ever and so underplayed.
Typo: Clyde McPhatter created the Drifters and obviously was an original, Ben E. King was not... Clyde knew my uncles from the gospel circuit and hand picked them from the family group, "The Thrasher Wonders"
@Greeni70 - Thanks for posting this. I always would say my uncle doesn't get enough credit for his leads. For many, all they seem to know is Clyde McPhatter or Ben E King (not and original Drifter) though great in their own right, was not an original. Gerhart was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, but sadly his brother Andrew, a smooth tenor, was not, although he was on many of those great recordings, Including 'Your Promise To Be Mine'. Checkout Gerhart lead :"Drifting Away'
Gerhart Thrasher & Andrew Thrasher are my uncles, my grandmother's brothers. They were originally in a family gospel group called "The Thrasher Wonders", which consisted of the sisters, Bernice and Duane Thrasher.
@ dennisUVGHRG - "I agree my Uncle Gerhart had perhaps the most powerful and souldful lead vocal performance on a doowop recording of that time, not that I'm bias :^)
@dennisUVGHRG Hi Glad you liked my post I was not trying to imply in the photo that those members were the ones on the song I just grabbed this photo because I liked it the best.Robert
To paraphrase John Facenda, the "Voice of God" for NFL films in the 70's & early 80's, this is the best vocal group harmony song......EVAH! Also a slight correction to the picture represented here, the great Clyde McPhatter was gone and Willie Ferbie was long gone. The third voice along with Andrew Thrasher & Bill Pinkney was Johnny Moore backing, what I also consider as the best lead vocal (EVAH), Gerhardt Thrasher. Thanks for a great post, Dennis - ultimatevocalgroup dot/com
Giving me chills over here......
