Mel Tillis - What Did I Promise Her Last Night

Capo 3

D Am D

 G                    D
There she lies still sleeping 
G                                  D
Dreaming 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

    G                  D                   G
But now the passion's gone and all that's left
             D                   C              Am
Is cold gray facts and cold gray morning light
     D                  Am             D        
As I promptly close the door I wonder
                            G
What did I promise her last night

I guess I should have wakened her
And told her that I must be moving on
But I told myself the truth might hurt her
Worse than waking up to find me gone

But my conscience knows the truth
And it's so hard to convince myself I'm right
And as I slowly drive away I wonder
What did I promise her last night

I guess by now she's waking up
And packing up her things and heading home
With memories of a temporary love
She wishes never came along

How many one-night stands must she go through
Before she finds a love that right?
And as I'm driving down the road I wonder
What did I promise her last night

I guess by now she's waking up
And packing up her things and heading home
With memories of a temporary love
She wishes never came along

How many one-night stands must she go through
Before she finds a love that right?
And as I'm driving down the road I wonder
What did I promise her last night
