Promises lyrics

Artist  : Randy Travis 
Song : Promises
 
(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
