What Did I Promise Her Last Night Lyrics - Mel Tillis

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
