The Potency of Music

Noel Coward once commented on the potency of cheap music. I don't know exactly what he had in mind but if you look for Tracy Chapman's The promise on the net you should be able to find it somewhere and that will give you the idea.

 

These are the lyrics

 

 

 

 

If you wait for me,
Then I'll come for you.
Although I've travelled far,
I always hold a place for you in my heart.
If you think of me,
If you miss me
Once in a while,
Then I'll return to you,
I'll return and fill that space in your heart.

Remembering
Your touch, your kiss,
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you,
If you'll be waiting too.
If you
Dream of me,
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark,
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart.

Remembering, etc.

Oh I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face, your smile,
To be with you wherever you are.

Remembering, etc. Please say you'll be waiting.

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end.
If you can make a promise,
If it's one that you can keep,
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me
And say you'll hold
A place ... for me ... in your heart.
A place for me in your heart (3).
