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