A Promise To Keep

I still talk to you in my sleep

I don't say much cause the hurt runs too deep

I gave you the moon and the stars to keep

But you gave them back to me

The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep

But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep

I still lay on my side of the bed

I dance alone when the last bottle's spent

Memories like a river runnin' through my head

I'll have me an ocean before I'm dead

The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep

But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep

I still whisper sweet words to you

And when I'm busy with nothing to do

I pray to God that my words ring true

And that your words might reach me too

The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep

But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep

I can't keep it

My heart's in pieces so please understand

I'm trying to jump but I've nowhere to land

So give me your heart and I'll give you my hand

And try as goddamn hard as I can

The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep

But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep

I can't keep it
