Don't Make Promises You Can't Keep

I met you one day at the Cafe Denny's. We talked... You read my poetry, I thought you liked me, " Don't make promises you can't keep " We stayed up until 3:00, There I thought... was a beautiful, intelligent woman, And we'll meet again, " Don't make promises you can't keep " The following year we ran into each other at Coco's, Music flowing, Karaoke being sung, Dancers filled the floor, So I asked you to dance, But you were so engrossed by a cowboy that I didn't matter, " Don't make promise you can't keep " So you smiled and quickly replied, I'll meet you here next week, Dance with you, And we'll read your poetry together, " Don't make promises you can't keep " What I didn't realize it was a brush off just to get rid of me, So I told my friends that I had a date with a beautiful woman, Never realizing that you were laughing in my face, " Don't make promise you can't keep " I got off work on a new job just to be there for you, I waited two hours, And I realized that you weren't gonna show, " Don't make promise you can't keep " But that's alright your turn's a-coming, And I wanna be there just to see your face when it happens to you, " Don't make promises you can't keep " I'll smile and tell you, remember that date you promised here at Coco's? " Don't make promises you can't keep " Sept. 3, 2000 Written January 3rd, 2002 © on Jan 03 2002 08:31 AM PST, Billy E. Whitehorn    0 • 18 • 1
