Lyrics

Promises

Michael Visconti/Mark Carson/Mark Schaffel

There?s a life we could have lived
But it?s all in my mind
So much love we could have shared
If you just had the time

If hope paid the bills
Dreams could be cashed in
Oh just think of all that we might have been

If love could live on promises
Then ours would never die
I might believe you when you say
We?re worth another try
But ships can?t turn on tattered sails
And broken wings can?t fly
Love can?t live on promises
You?ll have to live with my goodbye

It?s not in what you say
It?s in what you don?t do
It?s in how I feel every day
When I?m left waiting for you
So no more empty words
Just let me leave
?Cause you know how much I want to believe

That love could live on promises
And ours would never die?.

I know you swear it?s the truth
Things will be different this time
Love can?t live on promises
So baby, goodbye
Love can?t live on promises
