G There she lies still sleepin' dreamin'D The whole world is in her hands What she thought was love last nightG Was just the wine and the weakness in a man [Verse 2]G But now the passion's gone and all that's leftC Is cold hard facts and cold gray mornin' lightD7 As I quietly close the doorG I wonder what did I promise her last night [Verse 3]G I guess I should have wakened herD And told her that I must be movin' on But I told myself the truth might hurt her worseG Than wakin' up to find me gone [Verse 4]G But my conscience knows the truthC And it's so hard to convince myself I'm rightD7 And as I slowly drive away I wonderG What did I promise her last night [Verse 5]G I guess by now she's wakin' upD And packin' up her things and headin' home With memories of a temporary loveG She wishes never came along [Verse 6]G How many one-night stands must she go throughC Before she finds a love that rightD7 And as I'm drivin' down the road I wonderG What did I promise her last night
