‘Promise me’ was the debut single from Beverley Craven. It was released in the summer of 1990. While her debut album reached number 3 in the UK albums chart, this single did not reach the UK singles chart. Meanwhile, it was a big hit in Europe, reaching number 8 in the Dutch Top 40 for instance.

The song was recorded in a Chinese version performed by Sandy Lam a year later. The song was also covered by Bulgarian-born French singer, songwriter and harpist Rossitza Milevska on her debut cd ‘Pop harp’ in 2006.

Tracks: ‘Promise me’ / ‘I listen to the rain’


Lyrics:
You light up another cigarette and I pour the wine
It’s four o’clock in the morning and it’s starting to get light
Now I’m right where I want to be losing track of time
But I wish that it was still last night

You look like you’re in another world
But I can read your mind how can you be so far away
Lying by my side when I go away, I’ll miss you
And I will be thinking of you every night and day just

Promise me you’ll wait for me ‘cos I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon, promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon
