Promise of Love

Promise of love Vs 1 I drove all night, to be with you, I tried to prove my love is true, Such a surprise to see, that you were not home, Now I sit here alone vs 2 Who is the man, who stole away, the one who promised to never stray, How can it be for you my love's just not enough? Did you get tired of my touch? Chorus I should have known, (how could I have known?) I should have known, (should have read all the signs) I should have known, I've seen enough Guess it was just too tough, to keep your promise of love! Vs 3 Did you forget the words we said? Sweet vows of love were what we read What can he give to you that I could never give? Now he's taken away my reason to live! Chorus I should have known, (how could I have known?) I should have known, (should have read all the signs) I should have known, I've seen enough Guess it was just too tough, to keep your promise of love! Guess it was just too tough, to keep your promise of love! Guess it was just too tough, to keep your promise of love! Guess it was just too tough, to keep your promise of love! repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton September 21,2021

A promise of Love when broken is a very painful heartache. Well written, John.

Well, sometimes love fades. This story of heartbreak resonates in travails of real life. I like the rhythm--especially the chorus.

Thanks Vijay, yeah I don't know why my songs tend to have heartbreak as the main theme, I guess life's disappointments linger no matter how many years go by!
