Ghost Of A Promise - Billy Walker

It was April in Georgia the robins were singing

She had all my love from the start

But she was to restless she wanted to wander

And she walked away with my heart

It was summer in Utah the mountains were purple

They told me she passed through that way

So I said I must hurry I’ve got to keep searching

We’ll be back together someday

It was autumn in Texas the roses were dying

I heard that one day she passed by

But by then they’d forgotten which way she had wandered

I left with a tear in my eye

Now it’s winter in Vermont the snowflakes are falling

I’ve searched every place I can look

And the ghost of her promise keeps haunting me always

I’m missing the heart that she took

I’ve climbed every mountain I searched every valley

Hoping my true love I’d find

And the ghost of her promise is haunting me always

I’ll search ‘til I make her mine
