Lyric Promise To Try

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

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

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

I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew
I was afraid you d go away, too

Little girl you ve got to forget the past
And learn to forgive me
I promise to try -- but 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
