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
