What Did I Promise Her Last Night 

What Did I Promise Her Last Night    
by Mel Tillis
 
G                                                                D7
There she lies still sleeping dreaming the whole world is in her hands
                                                                             G
What she thought was love last night was just the wine and the weakness in a man
                                                                                  C
But now the passion's gone and all that's left is cold gray facts and cold gray morning light
       D7                                                         G
As I promptly close the door I wonder what did I promise her last night
 
                                                                    D7
I guess I should have wakened her and told her that I must be moving on
                                                                           G
But I told myself the truth might hurt her worse than waking up to find me gone
                                                                       C
But my conscience knows the truth and it's so hard to convince myself I'm right
       D7                                                       G
And as I slowly drive away I wonder what did I promise her last night
 
                                                                     D7
I guess by now she's waking up and packing up her things and heading home
                                                        G
With memories of a temporary love she wishes never came along
                                                                         C
How many one-night stands must she go through before she finds a love that right
      D7                                                              G
And as I'm driving down the road I wonder what did I promise her last night
 
                                                                     D7
I guess by now she's waking up and packing up her things and heading home
                                                        G
With memories of a temporary love she wishes never came along
                                                                        C
How many one-night stands must she go through before she finds a love that right
       D7                                                             G
And as I'm driving down the road I wonder what did I promise her last night
