Joseph Meyer - Promise to Try lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 I promise to try, it's not the same [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] Will she see 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 [Verse 4] I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew I was afraid you'd go away too [Verse 5] Little girl, you've got to forget the past And learn to forgive me I promise to try, 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
