"Promises (2025)"
Music and Lyrics by Tom Sperrazzo 2025
Letters and pictures and phone calls and flowers
Had promised a day that was due;
Now I can say that today is that promise--
Today I am flying to you.
Burst through the clouds and a mem'ry's awakened
By colors I see in the skies;
Now I recall why that blue is familiar--
That blue is the blue in your eyes.
Can't keep my mind on this book I've been reading;
I've tried but it's simply no use;
My mind is caught up in letters and pictures and PROMISES--you.
What can I say when I look in your eyes that could
Tell you how much you've been missed?
Foolish to think that a word could exist that could
Tell you as well as a kiss.
Somewhere below there are lovers whose lovers are
Waiting for their day to come;
Aren't we lucky that our day has finally come for us?
Ten minutes more we'll touch down in your city
I'll search for your face in the crowd;
Run to your arms and I know that our hearts will be
Singing our promise out loud:
Love you! Love you!

Steve Mohacey, Tenor Sax
