What Did I Promise Her Last Night Songtext
There she lies still sleeping d

Dreaming the whole world is in her hands

What she thought was love last night

Was just the wine and the weakness in a man


But now the passion's gone and all that's left

Is cold gray facts and cold gray morning light

As I promptly close the door I wonder

What did I promise her last night



I guess I should have wakened her

And told her that I must be moving on

But I told myself the truth might hurt her

Worse than waking up to find me gone


But my conscience knows the truth

And it's so hard to convince myself I'm right

And as I slowly drive away

I wonder what did I promise her last night



I guess by now she's waking up

And packing up her things and heading home

With memories of a temporary love

She wishes never came along



How many one-night stands must she go through

Before she finds a love that right?

And as I'm driving down the road I wonder

What did I promise her last night



I guess by now she's waking up

And packing up her things and heading home

With memories of a temporary love

She wishes never came along



How many one-night stands must she go through

Before she finds a love that right?

And as I'm driving down the road I wonder

What did I promise her last night
