Luyện nghe bài hát She Made Herself A Promise

Jerry Walker

As a teenage girl in Texas, raised on dust and weeds and
She first saw pictures of the Seine
From her window late at night, she'd the stars were lights
Of the cafes in the St. des Pres

1:
And she longed to see the world, and converse with other
As they laughed and talked and walked the boulevard
To float to and the lights in a taxi late at night
Seems like a leap of faith to from this old farm
But she made herself a promise that someday celebrate
Her birthday in the St. des Pres

After she got married, she worked in theatre and had some babies
Her life on directions of its own
She became a working mother, she lived her for others
For her husband, for the children and her

Then one day her grown daughter said, she was off to and
Have you ever thought about it
She said of course I used to honey, a lot I was your age
But I hadn't thought it much until right now
She remembered the promise, that someday celebrate
Her birthday in the St. des Pres

She sees how quickly life can pass by, how a dream dies
You can't just live your life for someone
So she boards the plane for Paris, she thinks she'll a new dress
As she keeps that birthday to herself

Oh she thought do it sooner, seems so important to her
But life moves on when you're off plans
But every now and it happens, a chance appears for you to grab it
That's why this time she just couldn't let it
Cause she made herself a promise that someday she'd
Her birthday in the St. des Pres

And later a walk beside the Seine
