I sometimes have the strangest song obsessions and this one is no exception.

THE PROMISE by When in Rome
---------------------------
If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end, I'll always be there.
And when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around, and I'll be there.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
When your day is through, and so is your temper,
You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended.
These words just come out, with no gripe to bear.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.
Gotta tell ya, need to tell ya, gotta tell ya, I've gotta tell ya...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will. I will. I will.

I’m convinced I could make this work with a couple of guitar chords. Of course, it would sound a lot cooler if I could learn it on the accordion and then have a little back up from Gordon Shumway. Ya hear son? I’m guessing that will never happen, but I think this song rules and what better cover for a band named after an 80s TV icon to cover. I want a keytar. Anyone know where I can get one? Because this would sound sweet on one.

Jonathan, you are already writing about your excitement over wookies, and I hear you may be becoming a cat person. Let's not add to the stereotype by becoming an accordian player.

You are already too far ahead.

hehe, just kidding, if you jammed, I would polka!
