Promises, Promises

(album: You've Got To Laugh - 2006)

Just one look at those baby brown eyes
And all is understood
Ain't no stopping you falling inside
And staying there for good
She won't go doing those terrible things
Like messing with your heart
Pushing your buttons and pulling your strings
Sure that's true, no she'll never hurt you

Did you ever see a face like that
A picture of peace
A vision of honesty
Did you ever see anything so beautiful
So alive with promises, promises

And there ain't nobody would dare come by
To tear her from your arms
Ain't nobody as mighty and high
To keep her safe from harm
But you don't have a hope in hell
You don't have a chance
She'll always be your mademoiselle
Lost in praise for her clever young ways

Did you ever see a face like that
A picture of peace
A vision of honesty
Did you ever see anything so beautiful
So alive with promises, promises

She'll never say goodbye, never fall from grace
Did you ever hear a cry

Did you ever see a face like that
A picture of peace
A vision of honesty
Did you ever see anything so beautiful
So alive with promises, promises
