Promises to Keep Songtext

von Neal Casal

I will come to see you every Sunday morning
I will bring the flowers and I will sing some songs
And all the things that we don't say no more
Well, they won't mean a thing
I know that there are promises to keep
And so much to do before you can sleep
They tell me that you took a fall last night
But that don't mean a thing

Chorus:
Down again, always on the edge of tears
Lost again, trying to see my way clear
Down again, always on the edge of tears
On the edge of tears (*2)

Well, the old man - he went north for awhile
And no one's heard a word from him in quite some time
His blessing always was a curse to you
And it don't mean a thing

Everybody is acting like they've seen a ghost
(Everybody is acting like they've seen a ghost)
I say: "what's the matter", they say "we don't know"
(I say: "what's the matter", they say "we don't know")
It seems like no one wants to take the time
Oh no, no one wants to take the time

(Chorus)

I know that there are promises to keep
