“ POCKETFULL OF PROMISES ” (FREDERICKS)

ON YOUR OWN AT LAST, THINK YOU’VE GOT IT MADE
SOMEONE’S GOT HIS EYE ON YOU AND YOU’RE NOT AFRAID
HE JUST WANTS TO DANCE DEEP INTO THE NIGHT
LIKE A CAROUSEL SPINNING AROUND,
YOU CAN’T STOP TILL THE MOON HITS THE GROUND

BUT WHEN THE RIDE RUNS SHORT
YOU’RE LEFT HOLDING ON TO A POCKETFULL OF PROMISES
GUESS I JUST GOTTA WAIT

WE’VE BEEN FRIENDS SO LONG, IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
THAT A LITTLE BOY AND GIRL WERE JUST KIDS AT PLAY
YOU KNOW I LOVED YOU THEN, I GUESS I STILL DO NOW
A MILLION FOOLS BELIEVE THE SAME LIES TIME AFTER TIME

WHEN HE’S GONE
YOU’RE LEFT HOLDING ON WITH NOTHING TO SHOW
WAKE UP AND LISTEN TO ME
YOU’RE HOLDING ON TO A POCKETFULL OF PROMISES
JUST SAY I’M NOT TOO LATE

DON’T LET GO DARLIN’,
I KNOW THERE’S A BIG WIDE WORLD FOR YOU TO PLAY IN
YES I KNOW DARLIN’,
THAT YOU CAN’T LET GO AND IT HURTS ME SO
BUT YOU JUST GOTTA FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF

OH YEAH BUT WHEN THE RIDE RUNS SHORT
YOU’RE LEFT HOLDING ON TO A POCKETFULL OF PROMISES
WAKE UP AND LISTEN TO ME
YOU’RE HOLDING ON TO A POCKETFULL OF PROMISES
YOU CAN’T SAY I DIDN’T WAIT
SO BABY TELL ME I’M NOT TOO LATE

BECAUSE IT’S JUST A POCKETFULL OF PROMISES
YOU’RE HOLDING ON TO A POCKETFULL OF PROMISES...
