Randy Travis - 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

And 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 pray

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 reassure me

And I believe her love will cure me

And I'll fall asleep

With tears on my face

And 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
