I'll Never Say Goodbye - The Promise

theme song from the movie "The Promise" sung by melissa manchester

[@janiceterry973]

My husband and I walked down the aisle together 38 years ago today to this song. Still love it. And we're still together.

[@dcpedersen]

When I went to see Melissa Manchester in concert a few years back , I had her sign a cd and asked her why this song was not on one of her albums . It was due to a contract dispute with the distributor/ copywriter holder. What a shame . I own the movie and the sheet music . It is one of my all time favorites.

[@chopinlover49]

This song, and the complete Promise soundtrack, should be available on cd and the movie should be on dvd. This is one of my favorite movies and songs.

[@julielavin9798]

Love the movie and the song is Perfect....❤

[@acarnivorous]

Great singer & the best love movie of all time forever as the song says! How could anyone say anything bad? Love Love Love BOTH of these things when I think love in time as in no changing after all these years!

[@dukeofkbs]

I remember this movie...those were more carefree days. Had I known what these days were going to be like, I would have enjoyed those days more. Maybe next timee...

[@annan9216]

:( makes me cry and someone asked me while I turned my head and my eyes were full of tears, and randomly they hugged me!!!

A beautiful song for a movie that is very underrated

[@Luizzzz450]

[@ironhorse6688]

John Griffin I love that movie, I saw it many many times, Kathleen Quinlan was beautiful in the movie

[@georgeromero941]

My mom loves this movie. She was so excited when I found it free for her here on KZbin

[@thewarriorqueen4714]

@@georgeromero941 I don't think it's there anymore

[@mahisharma9396]

If you liked this film then you should watch the hindi version yeh waada raha 1982.

[@Frankiarmz]

You must fight to live to know love. Start by loving yourself and the gift of life. Give to others kindness and care. Be patient, you can't rush love or expect, or demand it. I don't know you but I believe you will find Love in time. You found this song, and received this answer.

[@melgonzalez7045]

Thank you for your words of comfort

[@jasonpalomado4845]

beautiful voice and best verson.

[@rcflyer2k4]

I have always loved this tune! "The Promise" was a very deep movie.. Back in 6th grade, I wrote these words to a girl, needless to say, she didn't get it,. and I didn't get her.... LOL.. that's ok. I got my dreamgirl anyway. Love this!

[@thewarriorqueen4714]

Definitely one of my top favorites, including the song.

[@marcelinosantos3608]

The theme song of Miss Mankayan 1974, Benguet, Phil; Melissa de Leon. 😮

[@rossanarubi]

great!!!!this is one of my favorites movies. i like very much the music and the lyrics.thank you for posting this song,very good job!!!

[@MsBeatific]

I had this movie on video cassette - lol (talk about an old movie) anyway, I watched it so often I knew the dialogue by heart and when the cassette got destroyed I cried for a week straight. I really loved this movie and I still do - beautiful love story.

[@pbs4535]

Tatiyana Tracee Caulkdron This movie is on KZbin check it out ...

[@franka.perdue3568]

This heart-wrenching, beautiful movie is on CD. It's part of a Danielle Steel collection. I believe she wrote a book from the movie.

[@marsale1]

Sang this in high school! Had em all cryin. Did a duet w/my choir teachers daughter. Never forget those days!- D. JoneZ

[@PoetessPossessed]

I adore this song! Beautiful!

[@clouseau186]

Thanks for posting another beautiful song right up there with Looking through the eyes of love by MM. The movie was great and would love to see it again. It's been years.

[@dcol6918]

Beautiful intepretation of this song by Melissa Manchester.

[@annan9216]

😢 so emotional 😭

[@grammab1936]

A beautiful song.

[@Pacabelle]

I love the words. Alan and Merilyn Bergman are the king and queen of romantic songs. We need more songwriters like them. Nowadays, the songs we hear on the radio no longer have any poetic meaning, it's all about sex!

[@goomersgirl1]

I truly love this song.

[@philipbahia7139]

I use to cry to this song cause their was someone in my I fell in love with and he never knew it but I let him go cause he was already married 😭 so I had to move on.

[@hizgrase]

my best friend sang this in my sisters wedding about thirty five years ago...the song lasts longer than the marriage...still lbeautiful and i love ms manchester...too many songs i love of hers.

[@justmejustine1958]

Beautiful..

[@agnescruz6042]

Sadly this song was nominated as best song in the Oscars 1980.......it didn.t win......a great song and a great movie.

[@mylovewillseeyou]

Dianne, I will always love you and I missed you so much... Take care and God bless you always...Thanks po...

[@oofahman]

THey sure don't write love themes like THIS anymore..what a pity!!

[@angiemaniaciskatingfan723]

Sarah Hughes' skating program to this song (Maureen McGovern's version) brought me here.

[@magicman1433]

Melissa Manchester never recorded this song on any of her albums. Only the soundtrack (only available on LP) contains this song. There are several other versions of the song though (Debby Boone, Maureen McGovern, Rosemary Clooney).

[@robgina62]

Beautiful video to a beautiful song by Melissa Manchester. "I'll Never Say Goodbye" is the love song from a 1979 movie called "The Promise". I'd love to have this song by Melissa on cd but unfortunately it's never been available so far. It's beyond me why it couldn't be included on one of her albums.

[@JerseySurvivor]

This is such a great song. I remember Melissa did both songs together at the 1980 Academy Awards (I have the tape somewhere). I searched for years for the song and it is not on any of her albums. Years ago I had a friend who was a big fan and I remeber her saying that there was something about this song that Melissa never wanted to perform it and had bad feeling about it. I've seen her in concert a few times and she's never done it. Anyone know the fax?

[@luannf]

I love this song. Judy Collins has a really beautiful version of this song, but it is really hard to find. It's on the Hard Times for Lovers album.

[@oofahman]

love this song!!!! :)

[@renadede]

MARAVILHOSO ....

[@alperman5]

To Mayette....someone who was never meant for me....

[@caiusama]

[@cynthiatelen7359]

Fantastic❤

[@magicman1433]

Thanks in advance. I'll give her a listen!

[@1stardancer]

I'd love to own this movie but it's only available on VHS. What are they thinking? Get it on DVD. Haunting, beautiful movie. True love triumphs.

[@agnescruz6042]

you can do it, go to some who sells dvds, some they can transfer vhs to dvd.

[@1stardancer]

UPDATE: I have the movie on DVD.

[@emmanuelsanchez201]

A PROMISE WHICH SHOULD NOT HAD BEEN BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!.

[@sidneybrns]

You express how you hate life.a child who lost his mother in the desert of africa due to starvation had no choice but to survive at 2 years old by himself. As he tried to get away to the cover just a few feet away, there was a voluture walking behind him just 1ft away and if he stumbled just once, he was going to be eaten alive.Enjoy life and love yourself because you mean something to someone.The child never made it to the cover. So please know you can change your life.

[@StretchButch]

Earl Klugh recorded an excellent instrumental version of this song on his "Late Night Guitar" CD.

[@jude1217]

[@bettycoale3491]

[@scottbloom6855]

it was never released sung by Melissa Manchester due to rights issues

[@berdegdugo]

@nancyfloressantos am just confused of the title of the song..., is it "i'll never say goodbye"? or "the promise"?

[@davidwolfe6261]

I'll Never Say Goodbye" from the 1979 film "The Promise" starring Stephen Collins and Kathleen Quinlan. Written by the famous producers of the late Bruce Lee action classic 1973 film Enter The Dragon (Fred Weintraub & Paul Heller)
