[Chorus]
Lady, I promise you I'll write you a song
When I find the right things to say
But right now I'm busy, so I'll move along
And I know I'll write it some day

[Verse 1]
Darlin', you see it's so hard to explain
And even much harder to write
The feeling I get when I whisper your name
In the heat of a warm summer night

[Chorus]
Lady, I promise you I'll write you a song
When I find the right things to say
But right now I'm busy, so I'll move along
And I know I'll write it some day

[Verse 2]
How could I say how I thrill to your touch
Or capture the love in your eyes
All I can say is: "I love you so much
Someday, my darlin', I'll try"

[Chorus]
Lady, I promise you I'll write you a song
When I find the right things to say
And honey, I'm sorry it's taken so long
But I know I'll write it some day
