The Drifters - Your Promise To Be Mine lyrics

Your rating:

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

I'll be lonely when you are gone
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 (NEED CORRECT LINE)
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
That's the way life goes
Still I won't hold you to your promise
Your promise to - be - mine

G-d I've always thought of this song. It was part of my brother Doo-wop guitarist Bobby Petersen's record collection. I must have been 12 years old when it came out, flip side if Drifters' Ruby, as I recall. Thank you for variation of lyrics too.

To lose you would break my heart.
You said that we wouldn't ever part.
But I won't hold you to your promise.
Your promise to be mine.

I'll be lonely when you are gone.
Someway somehow I'll I'll carry on.
Still I won't hold you to your promise.
Your promise to be mine.

After all this love we knew
Who could think you could ever leave me
But now I'm hurt, so so so hurt
Because you want to, to be free.
Oh oh oh

Miss you everyone knows
That's the way life goes
Still I won't hold you to your promise.
Your promise to be, promise (oh yes) to (oh yes) be mine.
