Violet the Musical - Promise Me, Violet Lyrics

VIOLET:
You got number so call me
When it's convenient for you
Some night when you're drunk
And you're lonely or
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:
Expected to hear from me soon
MONTY:
Expected to hear from me
You never know with the army
Might be your neighbor by June
FLICK:
Good write me anytime
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 doin alright in there?
VIOLET: (Spoken)
I'm fine
MONTY: (Spoken)
You worried or somethin'?
VIOLET: (Spoken)
I'm fine
It's all the candy and the sodas
What'd you expect?
I mean isn't this your stop?
Shouldn't you be gettin' ready to go?
VIOLET AND MONTY:
I got your number so
(Spoken)
What?!
You got my number so
What?!
VIOLET:
You got my number so call me
MONTY:
Expect to hear from soon
VIOLET:
Some night you're drunk
And you're lonely
MONTY:
I knew 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 healin's through
FLICK:
Monty
MONTY:
Come to this station
Anytime Sunday
I'll be here for you
I'll be waitin' by the roadside
Anytime I'll make do
I've been waitin'
For a lifetime
To get your sweet kiss
So Violet promise
Cause I'll be waitin' 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
FLICK: (at the same time)
Just speak up or let her go
Am I just caught up in a dream?
I've waiting for a lifetime
For someone simply
To look and see me
The way that I feel
MONTY: (at the same time)
I'll be waitin by the roadside
Make my lonesome dream true
You're so sweet
I've been waitin
I'll be waitin
MONTY: Promise me Violet
VIOLET: (at the same time)
You got yourself a good joke now
You wanna set up the punchline
That's all I am I know
I got your number my darlin
You look too good to be true
MONTY: (at the same time)
Why won't you promise? Like I promised
MONTY:
Slow down you know I'm the best thing that's ever happened to you
(Spoken)
I'm coming here Sunday
See you then alright?
And you get off that bus
FLICK: (Spoken)
I think you've done enough
MONTY: (Spoken)
Now what the hell are you talkin bout?
FLICK: (Spoken)
What?
You expect to get from here to Tulsa and back in two days?
MONTY: (at the same time)
I'll be waitin by the roadside
I'll call you're name
FLICK: (at the same time)
You've got to let her go

VIOLET: (at the same time)
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
and as I'm goin
And as I'm goin
And as I'm goin
I know you're with me
