Yesterday's Promise Lyrics - Kitty Wells

Yesterday's promise got you everything I had 

You took all the best of me and now you call me bad 

You made me careless with the pretty things you'd say 

Now yesterday's promise makes me crying today 

Yesterday's promise made the fire within me burn 

Today there's only bitter ashes everywhere I turn 

Tomorrow may be better when the hurt has gone away 

But yesterday's promise makes me crying today 

[ steel ] 

Yesterday's promise made just one thing in mind 

But to a girl it sounds like love when it's love she hopes to find 

Tomorrow I may find it when the hurt has gone away 

But yesterday's promise makes me crying today
