Slash - Promise Lyrics






The first time I ever saw you
You had that far away look in your eyes
And heaven's eyes shined down upon you
And the whole room filled up with light

Now the cruel world it's gonna try and change you
Try to hang you up and mess with your pride
Now the rich just try to chain you
You got to keep your fire burning inside

Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire

Now sometimes the world tries to slap you
And it seems to love watching you fall
I wont lie to you, it's gonna happen
You got to pick yourself up and move on

Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire

[SOLO]

Which star will I be thinking of tonight
Tonight
Which star will I be thinking of tonight
Tonight

Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire

Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)

    Chris and Slash??? Am I dreaming right now????

  7. T.... M....

    Chris wrote these lyrics for his kids acording to Eric Valentine the producer of the album. Gives a whole new perspective on the whose better singing it argument ive been reading in the comments. Just found out and came for a listen, its a whole new song now for me. Fuckin love Chris's voice, God rest his soul. He was allegedly a very deep and wonderful human being acording to Eric.

  8. J.... d....

    Chris rulzzz

  9. N.... C....

    Obviously no disrespect to Chris Cornell, especially since I really enjoy his vocals too, but for any fans of his, check out Richie Kotzen as well. Richie has a similar voice and produces some great music himself.

    2010 was a good year for music, Ozzy's Scream, this album, featuring Chris, Ozzy, Lemmy & M. Shadows, Enter Shikari released Destabilise, Futures put out The Holiday, The Boy Who Cried Wolf and Sal Paradise were my top songs of that year, and we had Chester (RIP) go from rapping to screaming instead of Mike for Blackout.

    Am I forgetting anything?

  30. B.... ....

    M A S T E R P I E C E

  31. P.... K....

    To be honest
    I still struggle with Chris being gone.

    I was at his 2nd to last show in KC and he was so alive and iconic without any effort at all.

    I posted on social media after the show, " You have not lived until you have heard Chris sing in an amphitheater" and then he was gone.

    He helped me so much with his lyrics and delivery I would have helped him anyway possible.

    Miss you Chris, RIP my friend...

    P.... K....

    Pat King 😩😭🙏🏻

    Depression is a monster. When you're in its grips and suicidal it's eating you alive. It's like being held underwater with a giant weight on your chest. Sometimes you manage to swim to the surface but sometimes people can't shake that weight. It robs you of your free will. A lot of people don't understand and it is really, really hard to understand if you're not going through it or haven't been but sometimes there's nothing you can do to help. The only thing you can do is be as kind to yourself as you can be and be kind, compassionate, accepting and loving towards others. You might not be able to help everyone but if this world becomes a kinder place it will help people with depression so much more.

    If you want to do something to honor Chris and help others look into ways you can support research into mental health and illness and advocate for for better mental health programs in your area. That and do your best to let those around you who are struggling with mental illness know that you'll be there for them as best you can and that they are worth kindness.

    P.... K....

    "And then he was gone." 💔

    P.... K....

    I was there too, I was asking my wife on way out after " Do you think they ever get tired of singing the same songs over and over?" Couple days later he was gone, over 2 years later and I'm still mourning the loss.
