Promise Me, Violet Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Violet

Violet (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2014

[VIOLET]
You got my number, so call me
When it's convenient for you

[FLICK, spoken]
Sit down. 

[VIOLET]
Some night you're drunk and you're lonely
Got nothing better to do
I'll be sittin' home, waitin' to hear from you

[FLICK]
I got your number, I'll call you

[MONTY]
I got your number, I'll call you

[FLICK]
Expect to hear from me soon –

[MONTY]
Expect to hear from me –
You never know, with the Army –
Might be your neighbor by June

[FLICK, spoken]
Good. 

(sung)
Write me any time –

[MONTY]
I'll wait to hear from you

[VIOLET]
You weren't so bad, for a soldier
You weren't the best or the worst
But when you started to cry, boy
I tell you, that was a first

[MONTY, spoken]
Violet! You doing all right in there?

[VIOLET, spoken]
I'm fine!

[MONTY, spoken]
You worried or something?

[VIOLET, spoken]
I'm fine! It's all the candy and the soda, what'd you expect? I mean, isn't this your stop? Shouldn't you be getting ready to go?

[VIOLET]
You got my number so –
What?
You got my number so –
What?
[MONTY]
I got your number so –
What?
I got your number so –
What?
[VIOLET]
You got my number so call me –

[MONTY]
Expect to hear from me soon –

[VIOLET]
Some night you're drunk and you're lonely –

[MONTY]
Under the spell of the moon –

[VIOLET]
I'll be sittin' home, knittin' somethin' fittin'
Just waitin' to hear from you

[FLICK, spoken]
Come on, Monty. 

[MONTY]
Promise me, Violet
Promise you'll do this
Once your healing's through

[FLICK, spoken]
Monty?

[MONTY]
Come to this station
Any time Sunday
I'll be here for you
I'll be waiting, by the roadside
Any time, I'll make do
I've been waiting, for a lifetime
To get your sweet kiss
So Violet, promise
'Cause I'll be waiting for you

Promise me, Violet
Why won't you face me?
All I want is you
You're not some beauty
That don't concern me
I'll be here for you

[MONTY]
I'll be waiting
By the roadside
Make my lonesome dream true
 
You're so sweet
I've been waiting
I'll be waiting
[FLICK]
Should I speak up
Or let her go
Am I just caught up in a dream
I've been waiting, for a lifetime
For someone simply
To look and see me
 
The way that I see you
 
Promise me, Violet
 
Why won't you promise
 
Like I promised…
[VIOLET]
You got yourself a good joke now
You wanna set up the punchline
That's all I am, I know…
[VIOLET]
I got your number, my darling
You look too good to be true

[MONTY]
Slow down, you know I'm the best thing
Has ever happened to you

(spoken)
I'm coming here Sunday. See you then, all right? And you get off that bus!

[FLICK, spoken]
Leave the girl in peace!

[MONTY, spoken]
What the hell is wrong with you?

[FLICK, spoken]
You expect her to get to Tulsa and back in two days?

[MONTY]
I'll be waiting, by the roadside

[FLICK]
I got to let her go…
[VIOLET]
Left my troubles all behind me
 
 
 
 
 
 
Back there when I climbed on board
 
 
Jordan River's where you'll find me
 
It's wide, but not too wide to ford
[MONTY]
And I'll call your name…

[VIOLET]
And as I'm goin' along

[YOUNG VI]
And as I'm goin' along

[VIOLET]
And as I'm goin' along

[YOUNG VI]
And as I'm goin' along

[VIOLET]
I know you're with me
