Luyện nghe bài hát She Made Herself A Promise

Jerry Jeff

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

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

college she got married, she worked in theatre and had some babies
Her life 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 daughter said, she was off to and
Have you ever thought it Mom?
She said of course I used to honey, a lot I was your age
But I hadn't thought about it until right now
She remembered the promise, someday she's celebrate
Her birthday in the St. des Pres

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

Oh she thought she'd do it sooner, seems so to her
But life on when you're off making plans
But every now and it happens, a chance 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 she'd
Her birthday in the St. des Pres

And later take a walk the Seine
