Oh Promise Me

Oh Promise Me is a song with music by Reginald De Koven and lyrics by Clement Scott. The song was written as an art song in 1887 and first published in 1889 by G. Schirmer, Inc. It is believed that De Koven based the melody of "O Promise Me" partly on "Musica proibita", a popular song by Italian composer Stanislao Gastaldon. In 1890, De Koven wrote his most successful comic opera, Robin Hood, and the song "Oh Promise Me" became a hit song through performances by contralto Jessie Bartlett Davis in the role of Alan-a-Dale.

Lyrics
Oh, promise me that someday you and I Will take our love together to some sky Where we can be alone and faith renew, And find the hollows where those flowers grew, Those first sweet violets of early spring, Which come in whispers, thrill us both, and sing Of love unspeakable that is to be; Oh, promise me! Oh, promise me! Oh, promise me that you will take my hand, The most unworthy in this lonely land, And let me sit beside you in your eyes, Seeing the vision of our paradise, Hearing God's message while the organ rolls Its mighty music to our very souls, No love less perfect than a life with thee; Oh, promise me! Oh, promise me! ==Use in film and television==
