promise not to say
I will be there, i will be there
that follows you everywhere
Look for my love, when i am all alone Amos, to judge who you love
Make that promise, look for my love Promise, there is one more
Where the sun shines, what i need to know, where the sun shines
Look for my love, where the sun shines
Where the sun shines, i will be there, that follows you everywhere
Where the sun shines, i mean take their word
I will rescue you, promise not to say
I will be there, that i m getting too old Tori, whatever it is
Never take your phone, you re not alone

Promise not to judge, make that promise, you think i ll doubt you
If they accuse me, promise not to judge Promise, you are the light
That i m getting too old, that i m getting too old
i will be there
can you hear the truth
Whatever it is, will you look for me
promise not to take
Ive been a Tori Amos fan since I was 15 entering Cornflake Girl era. To see this beautiful display of mother and daughter (me the age 37 now) absolutely floored me and after repeatedly watching this video, I have again connected with a woman who’s art has brought deep emotions out of me since i was a boy. Making me the emotionally available and courageously creative man I am today. My promise.
I think it's my favourite of the album. Daughter and mother, two great voices. Saw Tori Amos in Paris, listen to her music from the age of 14, for 24 years now. My favourite female singer. For me Tori Amos = feminity (I hope this sounds not too stupid, i hope you understand what i mean)
I love this song.....I have a very strong relationship with my parents.....as a gay man, I was lucky to be blessed with accepting and supportive parents and I appreciate them for the life that I was allowed to have.....this song makes me cry.....I cry for the love that I was given and I also cry for those that didn't get the love they needed.
This song cuts so deep when you don't have a good relationship with your mum... I hope their love is really as stable and honest as this song portrays. If so, happy for them.
Okay, tears are streaming now, heh. I've been a fan of Tori since my angsty 90's teens. Her music has pulled me through some of the most trying times of my life....and now...here she is...all these years later...singing with her daughter. Beautiful.
Came here for the glorious, wonderful mood whiplash after listening to Playboy Mommy.
Go, Tori. Sing as many sentimental songs as you want with your lovely daughter and the hell with anyone who complains that it's too normal or sappy or omg why is her kid on the track.
Be glad that Tori is in a place where she can pour her heart out into a song like this, instead of a song like, say, Spark or Me And A Gun. I'll take a thousand Promises over one more like those.
Makes me feel old. I remember Tori's struggles with miscarriages and writing songs about it like Spark from Chior Girl. I am so happy that she finally had a girl.
As other commenters have said...
Go get "From the Choirgirl Hotel," listen to 'Spark' and 'Playboy Mommy.' Then watch this video.
That's the story to me. That's what makes this beautiful.
