A Promise to Keep

I still talk to you in my sleep I don't say much 'cause the hurt runs too deep I gave you the moon and the stars to keep But you gave them back to me The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep I still lay on my side of the bed I dance alone when the last bottle's spent Memories like a river runnin' through my head I'll have me an ocean before I'm dead The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep I still whisper sweet words to you And when I'm busy, or have nothing to do I pray to God that my words ring true And that your words might reach me too The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep I can't keep it My heart's in pieces so please understand I'm trying to jump, but I've nowhere to land So give me your heart and I'll give you my hand And try as goddamn hard as I can The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep I can't keep it
