If Promises Were Gold Lyrics - Singles - Stephanie Bentley

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
