| Song | From Promise to Promise |
| Artist | Frank Sinatra |
| Album | A Man Alone & Other Songs of Rod McKuen |
| 作词 : McKuen | |
| 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. | |
| 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. |
