Tori Amos - Promise Lyrics






[Tori:] Promise not to say

[Tash:] that you told me so
Promise not to say

[Tori:] that I'm getting too old

[Tash:] Promise not to take

[Tori:] never take your phone

[Tash:] I mean take their word

[Tori:] you mean over yours?
what I need to know, will you

[Tash:] Be there

[Tori:] Where the sun shines

[Tash:] I will be there

[Tori:] you are the light

[Tash:] that follows you everywhere

[Tash and Tori:] look for my love

[Tash:] where the sun shines
I will be there

[Tori:] will you

[Tash:] Promise not to judge

[Tori:] to judge who you love
I don't know if I...

[Tash:] Yes, make that Promise

[Tori:] whatever it is

[Tash:] can you hear the truth
if they accuse me

[Tori:] you think I'll doubt you?
what I need to know, will you

[Tash:] be there
when I am all alone

[Tori:] you're not alone

[Tash:] when I am broken down

[Tori:] we all break down

[Tash:] when every door is closed

[Tori:] there is one more

[Tash:] will you look for me?
I will rescue you

Tori Amos Promise Comments
  1. p.... m....

    Never seen this before today, strangely, and I am a huge fan...
    Weirdly enough, today it has been 14 years since the day my darling fragile mother left this world of her own volition, and I guess this is a sign...
    "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray... you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, please don't take my sunshine away..."
    It never hurts any less, Mommy.
    I LOVE YOU.

    @Jo Sa Heartfelt condolences!

  27. A.... L....

    Alguém do Brasil?

  28. G.... M....

    Yep, live goes on. I first listen to Tori's music in mid 90's and this lovely Video shows that time is passing by ! They have the same beautiful lips !

  29. B.... M....

    Great mother and daughter duet by Tori Amos Promise is a wonderful song!

  30. T.... ....

    Tori Amos is happy bless heart. but ever since she became "happy" her muse started to die. Happiness is probably the biggest poison for Art aka The Substitute For love.

    T.... ....

    did you not listen to the Hunters album? it was haunting, Gothic and quite chilling

  31. C.... C....

    the feels.

  32. �.... �....

    Обещай мне не говорить:
    «Я тебя предупреждала».
    Обещай мне не говорить,
    Что я сильно постарела.

    Обещай мне не брать…
    Никогда не брать твой телефон?
    Я хочу сказать, пусть их слова не берут…
    Ты имеешь в виду «верх над твоими»?

    Что мне необходимо знать —
    Это будешь ли ты рядом,
    Рядом, рядом,
    Рядом, рядом,
    Рядом?

    Я буду там,
    Где светит солнце.
    Ты свет,
    Который следует за тобой повсюду.

    Ищи мою любовь там,
    Где светит солнце.
    Я буду там.
    Ты правда там будешь?

    Обещай не осуждать...
    Не осуждать тех, кого ты любишь?
    Я не знаю, смогу ли я…
    Пожалуйста, обещай мне это.

    Обещаю, обещаю.
    Ты сможешь понять на чьей стороне правда,
    Если они станут обвинять меня?
    Ты думаешь, я усомнюсь в тебе?

    Что мне важно знать —
    Так это будешь ли ты рядом,
    Рядом, рядом,
    Рядом, рядом,
    Рядом?

    Я буду там,
    Где светит солнце.
    Ты свет,
    Который следует за тобой повсюду.

    Ищи мою любовь там,
    Где светит солнце.
    Я буду там,
    А ты, а ты
    Будешь там? Будешь там?
    Будешь там?
    Будешь там? Будешь там?
    Будешь там?

    Когда мне бывает одиноко…
    Ты не одна!
    Когда я унываю…
    Мы все иногда унываем!

    Когда все двери закрыты…
    Всегда находится одна открытая!
    Ты станешь искать меня?
    Я тебя спасу.

    Я буду там,
    Где светит солнце.
    Ты свет,
    Который следует за тобой повсюду.

    Ищи мою любовь там,
    Где светит солнце,
    Где светит солнце.
    Я буду там,
    Я буду там,
    Я буду там.

    Там, там, там.

    Tori´s daughter is a downgrade.

    @Zeitgeist NPC Tori Amos daughter is not downgrade. You're a fool.

  38. A.... L....

    One night is ok most you prefer be in Franz Praga Cafe " Open mic " find Luna Mondragon in Facebook Twitter and Instagram, or Raes Concert Bar find like Samantha Rae in Facebook Twitter and Instagram if real need it and ask to Anthrax if real seen around the world cause i saw him in Front fest Tijuana concert this was Amilkar Luis your friend

  39. M.... L....

    Tash is just as gorgeous & talented as her mother! 💕👍🏼💕

    *Sorry, I´m a big fan of Tori Amos! But her Daughter doesnt sing better as a Teenager in her Age!*

    I dont hear any Difference to other voices or something special! ~ So, I mean, Tori Amos just wanna show her daugther how beautiful she is! Nothing more!

    *Sorrry, but that dont impressed me!!*

  42. E.... ....

    Her daughter sounds like Birdy.. beautiful voice.

  43. S.... G....

    Sublime....

  44. j.... ....

    Tori is a huge book with many pages. This is one page. Her true fans understand her trials and tribulations. Her beautifully painful songs. Let her have a whispy duet with her daughter. She is allowed to show the love of her daughter in her huge catalog of amazing songs. Quit putting her in one box. That’s not Tori.

  45. P.... M....

    🧡🧡🎵🎶🎵🎶♥️

  46. r.... ....

    💙 I was 12 when I first heard of tori.. that was 1997.. man time flies. I've always loved her music.

  47. J.... L....

    My son loved the song

  48. J.... L....

    The two most beautiful people in the universe.

  49. I.... E....

    This is so beautiful. Natashya Hawley tone a bit like Demi Lavoto.

  50. d.... a....

    This comment is inspired by 16 shades of blue. Comments are blocked for that song and wish everything was this easy to get around. Anyway, you never knew the full extent of the songs you were writing did you? Seems to be the case for a lot of artists. You were still chosen in case you all havent noticed

  51. T.... R....

    Her daughter's voice is so beautiful!

  52. N.... E....

    ANA KIZ HARİKASINIZ.. SEVİYORUZ SİZLERİ

  53. t.... a....

    Still gives me goosebumps

  54. d.... a....

    I sorry I lied. I said I've only expressed myself without premeditation to one other woman. Actually it's two. I went to meet a "professional" that I was going to pay 50$ just to talk to me. I was hustled by a man pretending to be a pump and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Nevertheless I was disappointed because I had made numerous efforts to even get that far so I preceded in my normal way of escape and went to a bar where the lovely in every way bartender allowed me after being told what I was doing to express my desire to give and receive love. This is actually two lies I've also said I never cheated on my girlfriend at the time and I absolutely did. My number one promise in everything is not to lie ever. I just broke that twice. Once I guess and just truely realized another in trying to be honest with you. See I'm not perfect either it's ok if don't want to tell anybody 😎

  55. D.... b....

    The greatest dialogue ever recorded. <3

  56. C.... F....

    This video has been out for a while, but I do have to say that it makes me very happy to see one of my favorite humans continuing to be the gorgeous inspirational person she's been as long as I've been lucky enough to enjoy her presence. I absolutely love that Tori is what you hope the person you are a fan of is in everyday life. The warmth and joy captured in this video is fantastic. Thank You.

  57. W.... G....

    Algum Brasileiro perdido por aqui ?????? Apareça !!!! ❤❤❤❤

  58. J.... E....

    So beautiful. So much time. 👀 💕💖

  59. A.... a....

    I'm a big fan of the early age of Tori's music and lyrics. I am just sharing my point of view here : I lost the connection with her essence. What was deep before is now superficial to me. It is perfectly performed but no vibration is coing out of the interpretation. I feel technic, no deep vibration. Even the lyrics went more poor...
    When I hear this song I miss Tori a lot.

    Am I the only one ?

    A.... a....

    sounds like it didn't pay enough attention to her early work to really understand how important this 3 minute harmless, pop song really is. it got a long history

  60. A.... B....

    Just...wow.

  61. C.... O....

    This doesn't have the right 'feels'. The way they are behaving (eye gazing, interlocked fingers), some of the lyrics (singing 'light of my life', 'will you / I will be there' over and over again), are more appropriate as the way romantic partners behave. Tori, I think, is a little too needy emotionally and psychologically. It is like she is filling an emptiness for romantic-sexual love and conflating that with maternal love for a (now grown-up) child . After all she does often speak of the difficulties she has in her marriage, and I think her neediness (and probably a very romantic nature) caused her to attach a vast amount of importance to her marriage, which cannot live up to her expectations after all those years married when the fires, devotion and deep fulfilment will die down.

    Alternatively, the song and behaviours might have been a little more appropriate if the girl had still been young. Now that the child is an (near) adult it really doesn't not look or feel right. And yes, I accept that families each behave differently (e.g. some more touchy-feeling, lovey-dovey, etc that others) but I still cant shake the feeling that Tori is offloading her needs onto her daughter, projecting (if you will) the emptiness she feels elsewhere in her life. Let alone allowing all of this to influence her to write what is, to all intents and purposes, a pretty vapid sickly-sweet song, which is WAY below her skill and artistic level.

    I don't know. I might be wrong entirely. It just doesn't feel like a healthy appropriate expression of maternal love to me.

    Sorry for the length, if anyone read this. Peace.

  62. R.... S....

    Damn, that's her daughter?

  63. S.... J....

    No doubt Tori must be one of the greatest Mama's to ever have walked the Earth.

  64. H.... H....

    I've been a fan since Pele and have seen Tori 7 times in concert, I think it's a beautiful song and love how the lyrics go back and forth.. I understand this bc I've a daughter myself but I do agree that the past 3 albums have not captured me like the others. It's definitely a different type of Tori on last 3 albums, but as a fan of long time I will always buy any album she puts out.

  65. C.... �....

    In love! 😍

  66. H.... �....

    daughters voice is generic, nasel, boring and heard it all before. toris on the other hand is unique and beautiful

  67. M.... S....

    Wunderschön! 👌

  68. D.... D....

    Wow like mother like daughter . So amazing together and beautiful. .

  69. E.... C....

    So beautiful! !!!!

  70. j.... m....

    Still the prettiest thing I ever heard.

  71. J.... R....

    I love this song.....I have a very strong relationship with my parents.....as a gay man, I was lucky to be blessed with accepting and supportive parents and I appreciate them for the life that I was allowed to have.....this song makes me cry.....I cry for the love that I was given and I also cry for those that didn't get the love they needed.

  72. P.... S....

    As an ENORMOUS Tori fan since I discovered "Cornflake Girl" during my middle school days in the mid-90s (boy, did she and Alanis help me find my voice!) I cannot believe I'm just discovering this beauitiful track now! Wow. Absolutely beautiful. Brought a little tear to my eye. And when did Tash become so grown up?! Lovely :)

  73. J.... S....

    I think they sound so neat together. Still loving Tori's voice, beautiful!

  74. J.... J....

    this is why i liked her in high school and continue to now. she has the guts to be open with her deepest feelings and reflections. beautiful

  75. S.... ....

    Two earth angels singing together. ❤ One of my favorites.

  76. M.... S....

    This song cuts so deep when you don't have a good relationship with your mum... I hope their love is really as stable and honest as this song portrays. If so, happy for them. <3

  77. M.... ....

    Horrendous.

  78. C.... C....

    Tori has come full circle now and seems at peace with herself.

  79. s.... e....

    Wow oh my goodness mother and daughter singing together. This is truly outstanding and fantastic. Plus both of these two singing .this song just blew me away I cannot believe how fantastic they both sound. I think Tori Amos and her daughter should do an whole entire Cd together. Mother and daughter together singing together both of these beautiful gorgeous ladies sounds just like angels singing. They both have incredibly fantastic soothing voices. I so totally love the song that they both did together. I also think Tori Amos and her daughter should do a lot more music together.

  80. A.... C....

    Tori, you're great... Tasha, you're realy fine...

  81. Y.... H....

    I love this song

  82. C.... M....

    We have come a long way, all the back from the 90s.. what a journey... My eyes are leaking

  83. P.... F....

    Just saw her concert last night she's amazing

  84. W.... D....

    Who is she singing with?

  85. N.... J....

    yuk.... this makes me cringe.. And I am a huge Tori fan.. this is ... garbage.. sorry..

  86. a.... ....

    Found this randomly in the rabbithole this morning and I love it.

  87. C.... C....

    Always makes me want to cry because Tash is growing so fast, and she was a special gift to Tori.

  88. J.... G....

    What a ridiciolus comment that is?i like tash's vocals more than toris? what the hell dont forget whos got the real talent here!and thats Tori Amos mr man!in fact her daughters voixe and the whole appearence on her album annoys the fuck out of me!Tori you are the shining star Rock On girl!!

  89. m.... ....

    how much love, mother and daughter sisterhood <3

  90. A.... C....

    I have to say that Tori is still far more beautiful than her daughter...

  91. g.... s....

    I have a friend with purple hair. That's how cool she is.

  92. P.... C....

    Such a sweet video. I'll never understand the people that are so negative about Tash. If she was at the top of every song Tori ever did, I could perhaps see it, but.....otherwise, no, it's just hateful sad @$$holes being hateful sad @$$holes.

  93. A.... L....

    Good example of natural talent versus trained one, there can be only one Tori Amos. Daughter is not even close.

  94. A.... K....

    If I had to choose a favorite singer it would be tori..

  95. b.... b....

    Somehow, from siren of the great expectations... great movie just because of you, of your music, Tori... Such a road! Promise, than, now: wonderful path beneath my life! THANK YOU TORI AMOS!!!

  96. R.... K....

    Just gorgeous. So glad you got it all, Tori. You deserve it for all the hard work, all the bold choices, all the turning yourself inside out and upside down and giving, giving, giving, giving. Tash has a lovely voice and such a strong presence. ***thank you both****

  97. E.... T....

    too lovey dovey

  98. �.... �....

    Whats the name of the second girl&
    &?
