I`m tryin` to believe in forever
And I`m tryin` to believe in
The little jewel box life we lead
Babe I get so close sometimes
All I really know is I believe
That we`ve been makin` hard promises to keep

You want me to believe in forever
Do you know how tight I`m holding
Just to keep my grip on yesterday
But I`m trying hard to see the pretty pictures
That you paint for me
You know how tight I`m holding
To hard promises to keep

Promises are like little diamonds
Promises are like little hearts you meant to give away
I thought you`d want them back someday
I kept them for you anyway
But I know when I`ve been given
Hard promises to keep
