Mel Tillis - What Did I Promise Her Last Night

Capo 3

D Am D

G D

There she lies still sleeping

G D

Dreaming the whole world is in her hands

What she thought was love last night

G

Was just the wine and the weakness in a man

G D G

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

D C Am

Is cold gray facts and cold gray morning light

D Am D

As I promptly close the door I wonder

G

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
