Promises Lyrics

Well I remember sneaking in through her parents' back door
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the storm
To tell her she was all I would ever need
And that the promises I made were the promises I'd keep

I was shaking like a leaf, and soaking to the bone
But I swore to her that night She'd never run alone

'Cause promises are all you've got to give
When you're burning with desire, but you're just a kid
And promises are all you wanna hear
It don't matter that they're just gonna disappear
They might only last a night, but then another one is born
They make you feel alive, like you're worth a little more
That's what promises are for

She went to college and we both fell out of touch
I got a job tending bar, that didn't pay much
I wonder if she met a guy to love her like I did
Of if she looked him in the eye and made a promise to him

I could never give her up, not without looking back
When we gave ourselves away, I thought we made a pactThe Elms - Promises - http://motolyrics.com/the-elms/promises-lyrics.html

'Cause promises are all you've got to give
When you're burning with desire, but you're just a kid
And promises are all you wanna hear
It don't matter that they're just gonna disappear
They might only last a night, but then another one is born
They make you feel alive, like you're worth a little more
That's what promises are for

See, I've been taking stock while the days roll on
I think about her when the night gets calm
So what if we were young, so what if I was wrong
Well I believed in her, and trusted all along

'Cause promises are all you've got to give
When you're burning with desire, but you're just a kid
And promises are all you wanna hear
It don't matter that they're just gonna disappear
They might only last a night, but then another one is born
They make you feel alive, like you're worth a little more
That's what promises are for
Yeah, that's what promises are for
