The first time I ever saw you
You had that faraway look in your eyes
And heaven's eyes shined down upon you
And the whole room filled up with life
Now the cruel world, it's gonna try and change you
Try to hang you up and mess with your pride
Now the rich can just try to chain you
You got to keep your fire burning inside
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Now sometimes the world tries to slap you
And it seems to love watching you fall
I won't lie to you, it's gonna happen
You got to pick yourself up and move on
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Which star will I be thinking of tonight?
Tonight
Which star will I be thinking of tonight?
Tonight
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
