Promises

Album: Very Best of Randy Travis Durasi: 4:00
[00:04.38]Cheap perfume and painted faces
[00:11.75]Fallen angels fill the places
[00:18.32]Where I go when my troubles pull me down
[00:31.11]And all the lies, I know they'll tell me,
[00:37.42]And the time that they will sell me
[00:44.09]For a while, I'll be the biggest man in town
[00:56.87]Back at home in bed she's crying
[01:03.75]For her love for me is dying
[01:10.04]But she'll pray I make it safely through the night
[01:22.91]When the morning sun starts showing
[01:29.65]To her bedside I'll be going
[01:36.10]And she'll hold me while I face the morning light
[01:48.28]And I'll make promises
[01:52.46]Promises to change. I'll make her promises
[01:59.18]Swear I'll rearrange and I'll start giving
[02:05.54]All the love she needs if only she
[02:09.38]Will stay
[02:14.72]Once again, she'll reassure me
[02:21.46]And I believe her love will cure me
[02:27.76]And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
[02:40.21]And I know, she's just a woman
[02:46.95]And her love can't last forever
[02:53.45]And someday soon,
[02:56.83]I know she'll leave without a trace
[03:05.18]For broken promises
[03:09.94]Will tear her dreams apart. Just token promises
[03:16.49]Will someday break her heart and for the last time
[03:23.12]She'll hold me when I cry, and while I'm sleeping
[03:29.64]She'll quietly say goodbye
[03:45.48]🎵
