Randy Travis - Promises Lyrics






Cheap perfume, and painted faces...
fallen angels fill the places
where I go when my troubles bring me down.
All the lies, I know they'll tell me,
and the time that they will sell me...
for a while, I'll be the biggest man in town.

Back at home...
in bed, she's crying.
For her love for me is dying.
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night.
When the morning sun starts showing,
to her bedside I'll be going,
And she'll hold me
while I face the morning light.

And I'll make promises...
promises to change.
I'll make her promises,
swear I'll rearrange,
and I'll start giving all the
love she needs, if only she
will stay.

Once again, she'll reassure me.
And I believe her love will cure me,
and I'll fall asleep with tears on my face.
And I know she's just a woman,
and her love can't last forever.
And someday soon, I know
she'll leave without a trace.

For, broken promises will tear her dreams apart.
Just token promises will someday
break her heart,
and for the last time, she'll hold me
when I cry, and while I'm sleeping...
she'll quietly say goodbye...

    The new generation of pop country singers need to take a listen.. REAL singing, NO backing tracks, and, NO autotune. This is as pure as it gets.. He is still alive on this earth, but this one of a kind voice..... Silenced. How sad..

    Randy's incredable song of "He walks on water" reminds me of my personal experience of me ( Dad) and my son. Almost to the T.

    Broken promise by a women I had had my trust into not to break my heart I suppose I can't just go on into a nother relationship as long as she making me feel the pain so painfully

  24. E.... C....

    Country Magic!

  39. J.... G....

    Now, this is real country music. His voice just captivates you. This has got to be one of his best songs.

  40. D.... C....

    You mother fucking right this S.O.B. don't know country if it slap in the face. These New Millennium singers they ain't s*** they couldn't even fit their jockstrap

  41. R.... H....

    Did anyone get goosebumps listening to this song?

  42. K.... D....

    Randy Travis, George Strait, Alan Jackson, John Anderson, and Dwight Yoakam were excellent replacements for Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, Charlie Pride, George Jones and Walon Jennings, and yet there have been no good replacements for them. It's a shame when great country music dies.

  43. H.... L....

    Powerful Randy Travis! Damn son

  44. j.... ....

    This should have 20 million plays

  45. M.... H....

    My Country

  62. j.... c....

    tears.....thank you for......forever

  63. J.... W....

    This is the closet thing to real music we ever had back in that time. Randy didn't have to try it was god given talent and it came natural. this music today has no heart or meaning. if u think it does watch this 10 times and then watch today's garbage and tell me I'm wrong.

  64. m.... ....

    Just a man and his guitar.....beautiful.

  65. N.... S....

    love you randy blues gal and now randys biggest fan colorodo via iowa and denmark

  66. T.... B....

    I love my husband

  67. H.... L....

    hate the haters

  68. a.... ....

    this song has a certain poetic justice. For anyone who's been there, you'll regret it

  69. S.... M....

    Randy Travis is a good classic country singer. He knows what men are cable of to make promises they can't keep. a sing about them.

  70. P.... J....

    Brilliance!!! He is such a gift to country music and a once in a generation talent. I hope his recovery continues and that the world can hear his rich voice singing again.

  71. S.... M....

    He performed this song live as well as anyone in history has ever sang a song!

  72. W.... ....

    So powerful...I hadn't heard this song in awhile. This is my back story.😭😭😭 ....."and she quietly said goodbyeeee...."😢😖 what a painful era that was!!! And he still wanders this earth just as lost as can be. 😞

  73. A.... j....

    hits a cord but I don't know why. Maybe it's his voice that makes what he is singing feel so true. Excellent ,

  74. E.... E....

    Amein Randy Don't EVER turn back !!! We will endure with Jesus to the end ! Praying for you and your family always. Shalom.
