[Recorded March 21, 1969, Hollywood]



[music intro]

I sometimes wonder why people make promises they never intend to keep.
Not in big things, like love or elections, but in the things that count -The newspaper boy who says he will save an extra paper, and doesn't.
The laundry that tells you your suit will be ready on Thursday and it isn't.
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
Love, well yes, but like everything else, we go from day to day, We move from promise to promise.
I've had a good many promises now, so I can wait for the harvest.
And some of them, they come about.

[music to the end]
