Promises

Promises hung out on the line
Sparkle and shine in the daylight
Promises and little vows unspoken
All too soon lie broken in the arms of the night

I promised myself, I would never fall again
Vowed to my soul, not to trust in love
But then you delivered

You promised me honesty and your word was good
And you came through on everything, you said you would
You gave your heart, you gave your all and nothing less
And all you kept were your promises

Promises, sometimes hearts need proof
It's hard to tell the truth when you hear it
Promises, girl when they come from you
They breathe new life into my lonely spirit

You promised your love
Would be all I ever need
For once in my life
There's a reason to believe in forever

You promised me honesty and your word was good
And you came through on everything, you said you would
You gave your heart, you gave your all and nothing less
And all you kept were your promises

And the only thing you kept were your promises
Hung out on the line
Sparkle and shine in the daylight
