Luyện nghe bài hát She Made Herself A Promise

Jerry Walker

As a teenage in Texas, raised on dust and weeds and cactus
She saw pictures of the river Seine
From her window late at night, she'd pretend the stars were
Of the cafes in the St. des Pres

1:
And she longed to see the world, and converse with other
As they and talked and walked along the boulevard
To float to Paris and the lights in a taxi late at
Seems like a leap of to make from this old farm
But she made herself a that someday she'd celebrate
Her birthday in the St. des Pres

After college she got married, she in theatre and had some babies
Her life took on of its own
She became a working mother, she lived her for others
For her husband, for the and her home

Then one day her grown daughter said, she was off to and
Have you ever about it Mom?
She of course I used to honey, a lot when I was your age
But I hadn't thought it much until right now
She the promise, that someday she's celebrate
Her birthday in the St. Germain des

She how quickly life can pass by, how easily a dream dies
You can't just your life for someone else
So she boards the plane for Paris, she she'll need a new dress
As she keeps that promise to herself

Oh she thought she'd do it sooner, so important to her
But moves on when you're off making plans
But every now and then it happens, a appears for you to grab it
That's why time she just couldn't let it pass
Cause she made herself a promise that someday celebrate
Her birthday in the St. des Pres

And later a walk beside the Seine
