Lyrics I Promised - Hank Williams III

She′s standing high on cloud nine, believing all my lies
I was trying to win her over, and did to my surprise
I don't have all the things I said I could give her
I promised her a moon that I can′t deliver
She'll be hurt when she finds I'm a dead dreamin′ fool
Although she might forgive, she won′t like being used
I offered her life lined with gold and silver
I promised her the moon that I can't deliver
She′s too happy to be hurt so I'll starve for a time
I don′t know what I've got that makes her eyes shine
But I′ve got her heart rollin' like and overflowin' river
I′ve promised her a moon that I can′t deliver
She'll be hurt when she finds I′m a dead dreamin' fool
Although she might forgive, she won′t like being used
I offered her life lined with gold and silver
I promised her the moon that I can't deliver
Now I′ll face reality with what I've got to thrill her
I promised her a moon, and that's what I′m going to give her.
