Last night I heard the sweetest words
But if I wasn't' drinking
I might have remembered more of what she said
There were sounds of promise
And shades of grace
[Chorus]
I've been down and I've been waiting
Here she comes here she comes
Now another day has found me
And if I wasn't so stupid
I'd have ushered in the morning holding her tight
With sounds of promise
And shades of grace
[Chorus]
I'm done hanging on maybe
Tonight I'll say the sweetest words
But if I'm not dreaming I might not remember
To say just what I mean
With sounds of promise
And shades of grace
I'm done hanging on maybe
I don't want to go, she don't want to go,
We don't need to go this time is ours tonight
