Promises Lyrics

Promises lyrics

(Randy Travis/John Lindley)



Cheap perfume and painted faces,


Fallen angles fill the places 

Where I go when my troubles pull me
down

All the lies I know they'll tell me, 

And the time that they will
sell me 

For a while I'll be the biggest man in town

Back at home in
bed she's crying,  

For her love for me is dying

But she'll pry I make
it safely through the night

When the mornin' sun starts showing, 

To
her bedside I'll be going

And she'll hold me while I face the morning light




And I'll make promises 

Promises to change 

I'll make her
promises swear I'll rearrange 

And I'll start giving all the love she needs


If only she will stay

Once again she'll reasure me and 

I believe
her love will cure me

And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face

Lord I
know she's just a woman 

And her love can't last forever

And someday
soon I know she'll 

Leave without a trace

For broken' promises 


Will tear her dreams apart

Just token promises will someday break her
heart

And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry 

And while I'm
sleeping

She'll quietly say goodbye
