Standing On The Promises

In the style of

Lionel Cartwright

Lyrics

out of town on
business
far away from
home

he found himself
tempted by
her charms

her dark eyes
were inviting
no one would
ever know

if he spent the night
lyin' in her arms
as he got up
from the table

and he went to
pay the tab
a picture in his wallet
caught his eye

it was the mother
of his children
his faithful
trustin' wife

he walked on out
that door
he didn't even
say goodbye

he was standin'
on the promises
that he made her

holdin' to those
sacred words
that he gave her

oh it would've
been so easy
to forget wrong
or right

oh it looked like
he was runnin'
oh he had won
the fight

he was standin' on
the promises
of love

at an office down
on main street
she works beside
a man

who always knows the
perfect thing to say
power and position he
seems to have it all

he lets her know he
wants her everyday
and he offers her
the finer things

he knows she
can't afford
married to a common
working man

but the vows they made
are still as strong
as his two hard
workin' hands

she's not about
to risk his love
to walk on
shiftin' sand

she keeps standin'
on the promises
that she made him

holdin' to those
sacred words
that she gave him

oh the place she
calls her home
is not a mansion
on the hill

it's a little red
brick castle
that only love
could build

she keeps standin' on
the promises
of love

when the ties that
bind are tested
and hearts are
on the line

there's no storm that
we can't weather
or mountain we
can't climb

standin' on the
promises
standin' on the
promises

if we keep
standin' on the
promises of love
