Well I remember sneaking in through her parents¡¯ back door
|
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the storm
|
To tell her she was all I would ever need
|
And that the promises I made were the promises I¡¯d keep
|
|
I was shaking like a leaf, and soaking to the bone
|
But I swore to her that night She¡¯d never run alone
|
|
¡®Cause promises are all you¡¯ve got to give
|
When you¡¯re burning with desire, but you¡¯re just a kid
|
And promises are all you wanna hear
|
It don¡¯t matter that they¡¯re just gonna disappear
|
They might only last a night, but then another one is born
|
They make you feel alive, like you¡¯re worth a little more
|
That¡¯s what promises are for
|
|
She went to college and we both fell out of touch
|
I got a job tending bar, that didn¡¯t pay much
|
I wonder if she met a guy to love her like I did
|
Of if she looked him in the eye and made a promise to him
|
|
I could never give her up, not without looking back
|
When we gave ourselves away, I thought we made a pact
|
|
¡®Cause promises are all you¡¯ve got to give
|
When you¡¯re burning with desire, but you¡¯re just a kid
|
And promises are all you wanna hear
|
It don¡¯t matter that they¡¯re just gonna disappear
|
They might only last a night, but then another one is born
|
They make you feel alive, like you¡¯re worth a little more
|
That¡¯s what promises are for
|
|
See, I¡¯ve been taking stock while the days roll on
|
I think about her when the night gets calm
|
So what if we were young, so what if I was wrong
|
Well I believed in her, and trusted all along
|
|
¡®Cause promises are all you¡¯ve got to give
|
When you¡¯re burning with desire, but you¡¯re just a kid
|
And promises are all you wanna hear
|
It don¡¯t matter that they¡¯re just gonna disappear
|
They might only last a night, but then another one is born
|
They make you feel alive, like you¡¯re worth a little more
|
That¡¯s what promises are for
|
Yeah, that¡¯s what promises are for
|
