I promise to Try (Madonna)
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
But it’s not the same.
Keep your head up high
Proud like the wind
Never look behind
Life isn’t fair, that’s what you said
So 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
Its gonna be alright.
I fight 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 am doing it wrong.
Can’t kiss her goodbye.
But I promise to try.
