What Did I Promise Her Last Night
recorded by Mel Tillis
written by Ronald McCown and Wayne P. Walker
[Verse 1]
G
There she lies still sleepin' dreamin'
D
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
[Verse 2]
G
But now the passion's gone and all that's left
C
Is cold hard facts and cold gray mornin' light
D7
As I quietly close the door
G
I wonder what did I promise her last night
[Verse 3]
G
I guess I should have wakened her
D
And told her that I must be movin' on
But I told myself the truth might hurt her worse
G
Than wakin' up to find me gone
[Verse 4]
G
But my conscience knows the truth
C
And it's so hard to convince myself I'm right
D7
And as I slowly drive away I wonder
G
What did I promise her last night
[Verse 5]
G
I guess by now she's wakin' up
D
And packin' up her things and headin' home
With memories of a temporary love
G
She wishes never came along
[Verse 6]
G
How many one-night stands must she go through
C
Before she finds a love that right
