Versuri She Made Herself A Promise
Jerry Jeff Walker
As a teenage girl in Texas, raised on dust and
weeds and cactus
She first saw pictures of the river Seine
From her window late at night, she'd pretend the
stars were lights
Of the cafes in the St. Germain des Pres
Chorus 1:
And she longed to see the world, and converse
with other girls
As they laughed and talked and walked along the
boulevard
To float to Paris and the lights in a taxi late
at night
Seems like a leap of faith to make from this old
farm
But she made herself a promise that someday she'd
celebrate
Her birthday in the St. Germain des Pres
After college she got married, she worked in
theatre and had some babies
Her life took on directions of its own
She became a working mother, she lived her life
for others
For her husband, for the children and her home
Then one day her grown daughter said, she was off
to Europe and
Have you ever thought about it Mom?
She said of course I used to honey, a lot when I
was your age
But I hadn't thought about it much until right
now
She remembered the promise, that someday she's
celebrate
Her birthday in the St. Germain des Pres
She sees how quickly life can pass by, how easily
a dream dies
You can't just live your life for someone else
So she boards the plane for Paris, she thinks
she'll need a new dress
As she keeps that birthday promise to herself
Oh she thought she'd do it sooner, seems so
important to her
But life moves on when you're off making plans
But every now and then it happens, a chance
appears for you to grab it
That's why this time she just couldn't let it
pass
Cause she made herself a promise that someday
she'd celebrate
Her birthday in the St. Germain des Pres
And later take a walk beside the Seine
