Luyện nghe bài hát She Made Herself A Promise

Jerry Walker

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

1:
And she longed to see the world, and converse other girls
As they laughed and talked and along the boulevard
To float to Paris and the lights in a taxi at night
like a leap of faith to make from this old farm
But she made herself a promise someday she'd celebrate
Her birthday in the St. Germain des

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

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

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

Oh she thought do it sooner, seems so important to her
But moves on when you're off making plans
But every now and it happens, a chance appears for you to grab it
why this 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 take a walk the Seine
