Edwin McCain Promise of You song lyrics

The promise of you it sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe, yeah

What secrets sleep in the heart of a man

And so much love wasted it slip right through my hands

You see it in the eyes of the lonely

As they make their weary way

Shimmer in the eyes of the longing

And I hear it say

The promise of you it sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe, to believe

What secrets sleep in the heart of the night

And my dreams of salvation are slipping out of sight

In the shimmering moments of the twilight

The closing of the tide

The whisper on the wind of a rescue

The savior in time

The promise of you it sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe

And all this time

I've been fighting my own private war

And all this time

You're the peace I searched for

The promise of you it sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe, yeah

The promise of you it sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe
