PROMISES
Hiller / Newman

as rec by Jill Day


Promises! Promises! Promises!

You broke your promises,
You broke your promises,
When you told me you'd be mine for evermore!
You broke your promises,
You broke your promises,
Now you've gone from me I miss you more and more!

The whole town was talking about our love affair;
Whenever we'd walk by they'd stop and stare!
They thought I was lucky to get someone like you,
But little did they know you were untrue!

You broke your promises,
You broke your promises,
When you told me you'd be mine for evermore!
You broke your promises,
You broke your promises,
Now you've gone from me I miss you more and more!

You kissed me and told me that I would be your wife,
You said you'd protect me all my life!
You promused to make me a queen upon a throne,
But you have gone and left me all alone!

You broke your promises,
You broke your promises,
When you told me you'd be mine for evermore!
Prom' prom' prom' promises,
You broke your promises,
Now you've gone from me I miss you more and more!

Tried hard to please you with every trick I knew,
I even fixed the wedding day for you!
The parson was waiting to bless us with a prayer,
But when I turned I found that you weren't there!

You broke your promises,
You broke your promises,
When you told me you'd be mine for evermore!
You broke your promises,
You broke your promises,
Now you've gone from me I miss you more and more!
