Performance tip

Before performing Promises In The Dark, map the verse order carefully because the lyric gives you relatively few repeated lines as landmarks. It will give Promises In The Dark a clearer arc from the first section to the last.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Promises In The Dark rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the romantic angle. Its structure offers more changing verse text than repeated hook material, while the words have room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
