You said: “I wonder if I’ll ever forgive myself.”

I wonder that too.

Sending you love.

That song is one of my favorites, too.
Just know that when I hear it, now I will also be thinking of you.

For me the song is “The Promise” by Tracy Chapman. I heard it for the first time in the car radio on my way to get my son some children’s tylenol at an all-night pharmacy. An adult adoptee had called in to request a song for her first mom–whom she does not know. The disc jockey played Chapman’s “The Promise”. Chapman’s haunting lyrics just nailed it. About a year later we saw her in concert. I was praying the whole week beforehand that she would play it. My wonderhubby said the song was too obscure–she would only play stuff from her new album and maybe Fast Car. About halfway through the second set her band left the stage. It was just Tracy with a stool and a guitar. She said she was going to play a song that she doesn’t often get a chance to play. It was one of the few religous experiences I’ve ever had.

Tracy Chapman - The Promise Lyrics

If you wait for me
then I’ll come for you
Although I’ve traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me
If you miss me once in awhile
Then I’ll return to you
I’ll return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I’ll find my way back to you
If you’ll be waiting

If you dream of me
L like I dream of you
In a place that’s warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I’ll find my way back to you
If you’ll be waiting

I’ve longed for you
A and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I’ll find my way back to you
Please say you’ll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it’s one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me

And say you’ll hold
A place for me
I in your heart.
