Promises

(Steve PippinDrew WomackPat McDonald)



Promises hung out on the line

Sparkle and shine in the daylight

Promises and little vows unspoken

All too soon lie broken it he arms of the night

I promised myself I would never fall again

Vowed to my soul not to trust in love, but then you delivered



You promised me honesty and your word was good

And you came through on everything you said you would

You gave your heart, you gave your all and nothing less

And all you kept were your promises



Promises, sometimes hearts need proof

It's hard to tell the truth when you hear it

Promises, girl when they come from you

They breathe new life into my lonely spirit

You promised your love would be all I ever need

For once in my life there's a reason to believe in forever



You promised me honesty and your word was good

And you came through on everything you said you would

You gave your heart, you gave your all and nothing less

And all you kept were your promises



And the only thing you kept, were your

Promises, hung out on the line

Sparkle and shine in the daylight
