From Promise To Promise

From Promise To Promise - Frank Sinatra (弗兰克·辛纳屈)

I sometimes wonder

Why people make promises

They never intend to keep

Not in big things

Like love or elections

But in the things that count

The newspaper boy

Who says he will save

An extra paper and doesn't

The laundry that tells you

Your suit will be ready

On Thursday and it isn't

Love well yes

But like everything else

We go from day to day

We move from promise to promise

I've had a good many promises now

So I can wait for the harvest

And some of them they come about
