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
