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      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      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
