I Promised You The World

(album: Just Plain Lonely - 1972)

The time has come once more for us to move on
So pack your things and let's be on our way
This is not the world I promised not this shack so cold and grey
But I'll find it or be found trying on my dying day

Yes, I'll keep on trying for you my golden haired girl
For after all I promised you the world

You're the sweetest kind of a good girl you'd stood by me
You'd help me search for all my fancy dreams
But this place it looks no better than the last so we won't stay
But I'll find it or be found trying on my dying day

Yes, I'll keep on trying for you my golden haired girl
For after all I promised you the world

At last and finally we have made it
A house a yard and toys and everything
And daddy loves you so much honey
And you know that momma loves you the same way
And I promised her I'll keep trying
And daddy's gonna keep trying until my dying day

Yes, I'll keep on trying for you my golden haired girl
For after all I promised you the world
