Promise To Try lyrics

Little girl don't you forget her face

Laughing away your tears

When she was the one who felt all the pain

Little girl never forget her eyes

Keep them alive inside

Promise to try - but it's not the same

Keep your head held high, ride like the wind

Never look behind, life isn't fair

That's what you said, so I try not to care

Little girl don't run away so fast

I think you forgot to kiss - kiss her goodbye

Will she se me cry when I stumble and fall

Does she hear my voice in the night when I call

Wipe away all your tears, it's gonna be all right

I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew

I was afraid you'd go away, too

Little girl you've got to forget the past

And learn to forgive me

I promise to try - but it feels like a lie

Don't let memory play games with your mind

She's a faded smile frozen in time

I'm still hanging on, but i'm doing it wrong

Can't kiss her goodbye - but I promise to try
