The Promise Lyrics

(Written By Cohen, Performed In "Night Magic") (Judy) Once I was happy to Roam through the gold and blue Now something haunts me I know it's real Someone returns The desire I feel (Angels) We could have passed him by (Judy) Should have passed him by So many others cry (Angels) One more human cry (Judy) So many others Reaching for A thread through the night Or one lover more He has a dream (Angels) It's his dream (Judy) I dream it too (Angels) It's not your dream (Judy) He dreams of the promise We swore we would come through (Angels) The promise is not yours alone to honor (Judy) But we said we'd... (Angels) This is not our part (Judy) Open his heart (Angels) Now it is open (Judy) No, now it must start (Michael) You promised me whatever was in my heart (Angels) We promised him whatever was in his heart (Michael) You swore that I could speak from the heart (Angels) Yes, we said he'd speak from his heart (Michael) Now I have chosen And you must obey (Judy) I will obey (Michael) It's my heart that commands And it must have its way I want you I need you I can't live without you Anymore (Judy) Your heart commands me And I will obey you I need you I can't live without you Anymore (Judy & Angels) We promised him whatever was in his heart (Michael) You promised me whatever was in my heart (Judy & Angels) We said that he could speak from the heart (Michael) You swore that I could speak from the heart (Judy) And now he has chosen And now I must choose Tho' garlands of planets And starlight I lose (Angels) Now you must choose Starlight, starlight You're gonna lose him (Judy & Michael) I want you, I need you I can't live without you (Everyone) I want you, I need you I can't live without you Anymore
