Don't Promise Me Anything
Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee
Don't promise me anything, do it
Actions speak louder than words anytime
Don't promise me anything, do it
Take sweet love one day at a time.
Fascination makes, conversation easy
And what ya don't say I can see in you eyes
We're moving in together, talking bout for ever
Falling in love and planning our lives
But I don't wanna talk about forever
nothing ever last that long
I wanna live happy ever after from this moment on.
Don't promise me anything, do it
Actions speak louder than words anytime
Don't promise me anything, do it
Take sweet love one day at a time.
Don't need to mention good intention
I wouldn't love ya if you meant me harm
Things will be great, if we are appreciate
These wonderful moments that we hold in our arms
Cause I don't wanna talk about for ever
nothing ever last that long
I wanna live happy ever after, from this moment on.
Don't promise me anything, do it
Actions speak louder than words anytime
Don't promise me anything, do it
Take sweet love one day at a time.
Don't promise me anything, do it
Actions speak louder than words anytime
Don't promise me anything, do it
Take sweet love one day at a time...
