Carpenters - Deck The Halls lyrics

She knows three years was too long

to keep waiting

But somehow she was hoping she could

change him

Still all his dreams turned to dust

And who can survive in a love without trust

If promises were gold she could pay off

all the bills

And buy that pretty house sittin high

on the hill

If she only had the money for every lie

she's been told

She'd be a rich woman now

If promises were gold

Buy 6 o'clock he'll miss her rusty Chevy

Won't take long to notice dinner

isn't ready

Then he'll call up everyone she knows

Sayin "I'll do her right" if she'll only

come home

But, if promises were gold she could pay off

all the bills

And buy that pretty house sittin high

on the hill

If she only had the money for every lie

she's been told

She'd be a rich woman now

If promises were gold

She didn't take much, just the heart she

once wore on her sleeve

She's leavin behind every lie she

tried to believe

And if promises were gold she could pay off

all the bills

And buy that pretty house sittin high

on the hill

If she only had the money for every lie

she's been told

She'd be a rich woman now

If promises were gold
