Luyện nghe bài hát She Made Herself A Promise

Jerry Walker

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

1:
And she longed to see the world, and converse with girls
As they laughed and talked and walked along the
To to Paris and the lights in a taxi late at night
Seems a leap of faith to make from this old farm
But she made herself a promise that someday celebrate
Her in the St. Germain des Pres

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

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

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

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

And later a walk beside the Seine
