I Promise - Linda Chung
In a heart searching attempt to write depth into an emo industry aimed at the masses, and unaware of the singer to be, I pulled a line from my youngest while watching the moon one evening from the relative dim of a Lantau village. It lead to - in my mind- a lovely song, but one that is little appreciated and even less -in it’s region- understood. It’s a mismatch but Linda sings it well and I’d have loved to have met her.

Sometimes it's not great but hey
Morning brings a brand new day
Life is rarely black and white
Words set from the left to right
Arms are wrapped around my soul
I’m rice in your wooden bowl
Tired and worn and
Scratched and torn
Still, I’m yours to hold
We are greater than our sum of parts
Together we’re a work of art
Paint and canvas lay forever
Woven at the heart
I promise
I promise
In love we’ll laugh and sometimes cry
Be brave and be honest
Together we can
Touch the moon if we try
Cross my heart, hope
To die
Sometimes I can't find a way
To face the Monday morning train
Strangers standing heel to toe
We’re one together hold me close
The ups chase away the downs
We smile when we ought to frown
Poetry won’t always rhyme,
Like love it’s just a test of time
You are rich with a heart of gold
You’re funny though your jokes are old
You’re lost inside your working day
But then you turn to me and say
I promise
I promise
In love we’ll laugh and sometimes cry
Be brave and be honest
Together we can
Touch the moon If we try
Cross my heart, hope
To die
I promise
I promise
In love we’ll laugh and sometimes cry
Be brave and be honest
Sometimes the sweetest smile
Can come from a sigh
So cross my heart, hope
To die
