Daryle Singletary - Promises Lyrics






Cheap perfume and painted faces
Fallen angles fill the places
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
And all the lies I know they'll tell me
And the time that they will sell me
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town

Back at home in bed she's crying
For her love for me is dying
But she'll pray I'll make it safely through the night
When the morning sun starts showing
To her bedside I'll be going
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light

And I'll make promises, promises to change
I'll make her promises and swear I'll rearrange
And I'll start giving all the love she needs
If only she will stay

Once again she'll reasure me
And I believe her love will cure me
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
Lord, I know she's just a woman
And her love can't last forever
And someday soon I know
She'll leave without a trace

For broken promises will tear her dreams apart
Just token promises will someday break her heart
And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry
And while I'm sleeping she'll quietly say goodbye

It's time now for you to grace heaven by returning that powerful voice you were gifted with. Now you're member of the best and most glorious band ever... they're all waiting for you to come lead them in song. Here's my PROMISE... if you keep looking down, I'll keep looking up! LOL while SOL (Singing Out Loud) in Mrs. Brown's class at CHS!

    Gary Cutright WHO THE FUCK IS DARRYLE YOU DISRESPECTFUL SACK OF SHIT

    G.... C....

    I'm so sorry if I misspelled his name. The only one being disrespectful is you

    G.... C....

    And if you knew your country music you would realize that's the singer. And that he passed away the other day

    G.... C....

    Gary Cutright I AM AS FAR FROM DISRESPECTFUL AD YOU CAN GET STUPID IDIOT. BITCH YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW HE DIED???? AND BACK TO THE WHOLE DISRESPECTFUL THING I DON'T HAVE A DISRESPECTFUL BONE IN MY BODY. I GOT VOTED A LOT OF STUFF IN HIGH SCHOOL (WHICH WASN'T THAT LONG AGO FOR ME. I AM NOW 24 YEARS OLD. GRADUATED AT 16) AND ONE OF THE THINGS I GOT VOTED FOR WAS MOST RESPECTFUL AT MY SCHOOL. I'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT RESPECTFUL SINCE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW ABOUT RESPECT PROBABLY AT 9 YEARS OLD. HONEY DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME DISRESPECTFUL YOU DISRESPECTFUL SACK OF CRAP. HAVE A NICE LIFE. I DONT ASSOCIATE WITH GARBAGE LIKE YOU. I TAKE GARBAGE LIKE YOU TO THE ROADSIDE DUMPSTER

  40. D.... K....

  43. P.... A....

    I don't know where I've been the last few years to miss all of this good music by Daryl. Plus he is one sexy dude.

  44. K.... K....

    God please return REAL Country Music. We do not Shit Weasels like Luke Bryant

    K.... K....

    Ken K BITCH REAL COUNTRY WILL NEVER MAKE A RETURN BECAUSE FOR SOMETHING TO RETURN THAT MEANS IT HAS TO OF AT LEAST WENT AWAY. REAL COUNTRY HAS NEVER LEFT SO HOW THE HELL COULD IT MAKE A COMEBACK. AND ALSO DISRESPECTFUL BITCH IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RESPECT TO SPELL SOMEBODY'S NAME RIGHT DON'T EVEN FUCKING BOTHER TO EVEN TRY TO TYPE THEIR NAME. ACCORDING TO MY CDS I HAVE OF HIM AND ACCORDING TO HOW HIS NAME HAS BEEN SAID ON TV AND RADIO THROUGH THE YEARS AS FAR BACK AS 2007 WHEN HE STARTED HIS CAREER IT IS LUKE BRYAN DUMB DISRESPECTFUL SACK OF SHIT. AND LUKE BRYAN (WHO THE FUCK IS LUKE BRYANT ANY FUCKING WAY) IS AS FAR FROM A WEASEL AS YOU CAN GET YOU FUCKING STUPID IGNORANT SACK OF SHIT. FUCK OFF. LUKE IS JUST AS TALENTED AND AS COUNTRY AS DARYLE WAS

  45. C.... B....

    Love his voice, absolutely beautiful 💙💙💙

  46. R.... J....

    R.... J....

    Rebecca Jewell I grew up on 80s and 90s Country. I like the older stuff but those two decades are my fave.

  47. T.... p....

    real country! not that bullshit on the radio today!

    T.... p....

    Owen2408 BITCH THIS IS LITERALLY JUST AS COUNTRY AS ANYTHING ON ANY FM COUNTRY STATION ON THE PLANET THESE DAYS STUPID IDIOT. WE JUST HAVE MORE CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY ALONG THE LINES OF MODERN TOBY KEITHS AND GARTH BROOKS. JUST CUZ SOMETHING IS NOT TRADITIONAL COUNTRY DOES NOT MAKE IT MORE OR LESS COUNTRY THAN SOMETHING IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE. GARTH BROOKS WAS NEVER TRADITIONAL AND STILL AINT TRADITIONAL TO THIS DAY BUT HIM ALAN JACKSON (TRADITIONAL) GEORGE STRAIT (TRADITIONAL) DARYLE SINGLETARY (TRADITIONAL) AND TOBY KEITH (TOBY IS CONTEMPORARY LIKE GARTH) ARE ALL FIVE EQUALLY AS TALENTED AND EQUALLY AS COUNTRY AS EACH OTHER

  48. r.... ....

  67. m.... ....

    Keith Whitley did his/this song best.

    m.... ....

    @many2lines This is actually a Randy Travis song. Keith Whitley never did this.

    m.... ....

    your right! I was wrong...i dont know how i coulda made the mistake. thanks

    m.... ....

    @MalliTrAxxZz your right! I was wrong...i dont know how i coulda made the mistake. thanks

    m.... ....

    MalliTrAxxZz this wasn't even classified as a SONG until daryle got a hold of it. Fucking randy Travis SUCKED too bad to have SONGS. All he EVER made were shits

  68. M.... p....

    This is how country is supposed to sound

    M.... p....

    michael p this is how it has already SOUNDED for YEARS including in today's country

  69. n.... ....

    he is a decent singer... good voice... but he demolished this song.  Randy Travis recorded this song with just a guitar and his voice.  this guy had a whole band and don't sound half as good.

    n.... ....

    so Randy thought he should make a few royalties to seal the deal?

    n.... ....

    Watch Daryle with just an acoustic guitar.. he is a much better vocalist than Randy. There's several videos on here of his raw talent

    n.... ....

    +nothadnotbad UR A MORON!!! TRAVIS JUST WISHED HE EVER HAD AN OUNCE OF DARYL'S VOICE!

    n.... ....

    +nothadnotbad actually randy cut it with band too. he just released the acustic version

    n.... ....

    nothadnotbad STUPID NO TALENT RANDY TRAVIS IS THE ONE THAT DEMOLISHED THIS YOU FUCKING SACK OF SHIT. DARYLE COULD NEVER DEMOLISH ANYTHING IF HE TRIED. COURSE HE DIED NOW SO HE REALLY CAN'T TRY AND DEMOLISH ANYTHING.

  70. S.... J....

    Love his voice!

    S.... J....

    I know, right!!

  71. N.... H....

    Great voice! I still like the original best.

    N.... H....

    Nerdy Hillbilly who did the original

  72. R.... S....

    Best voice in country by far!!!!!!

    R.... S....

  80. S.... L....

    Daryle, is a great guy. The band I was in the late 90's opened for him in Valdosta. Sound check was amazing. No big star big head with him. He is such a down to earth guy. You need to hear him live....Country music needs him...because he the real deal.

  81. D.... ....

    GREAT SONG for a GREAT ARTIST !!
    Daryle you are the BEST, and your voice is AMAZING !!
