Promises

<br>(Randy Travis/John Lindley)<br><br>Cheap perfume and painted faces, <br>Fallen angles fill the places <br>Where I go when my troubles pull me down<br>All the lies I know they`ll tell me, <br>And the time that they will sell me <br>For a while I`ll be the biggest man in town<br>Back at home in bed she`s crying, <br>For her love for me is dying<br>But she`ll pry I make it safely through the night<br>When the mornin` sun starts showing, <br>To her bedside I`ll be going<br>And she`ll hold me while I face the morning light <br><br>And I`ll make promises <br>Promises to change <br>I`ll make her promises swear I`ll rearrange <br>And I`ll start giving all the love she needs <br>If only she will stay<br>Once again she`ll reasure me and <br>I believe her love will cure me<br>And I`ll fall asleep with tears on my face<br>Lord I know she`s just a woman <br>And her love can`t last forever<br>And someday soon I know she`ll <br>Leave without a trace<br>For broken` promises <br>Will tear her dreams apart<br>Just token promises will someday break her heart<br>And for the last time she`ll hold me when I cry <br>And while I`m sleeping<br>She`ll quietly say goodbye
