written by Ronald Mccown and Wayne P. Walker
G
There she lies still sleeping dreaming
D7
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
But now the passion's gone and all that's left
C
Is cold gray facts and cold gray morning light
D7
As I promptly close the door
G
I wonder what did I promise her last night
I guess I should have wakened her
D7
And told her that I must be moving on
But I told myself the truth might hurt her worse
G
Than waking up to find me gone
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
I guess by now she's waking up
D7
And packing up her things and heading home
With memories of a temporary love
G
She wishes never came along
How many one-night stands must she go through
C
Before she finds a love that right
D7
And as I'm driving down the road I wonder
G
What did I promise her last night
