Promise Me
(I'll Be the First to Know)
Words and music by Ryan Michael Galloway
I had me a dream
as I was wakin' up
Then I saw your face in my coffee cup
So I wrote down a letter, addressed it to you
If I get the nerve I'll even send it, too
It's about that
man sharin' your place
I don't like his style and I don't like his face
And now I guess I'm just not through lovin' you
And all I'm really askin' you to do, is to
(Chorus)
Promise me I'll be the first to know
When you're back on your own and nights are far too long
Won't you promise me I'll be the first to know
When he is gone
I closed my eyes
and the mem'ry came clear
The way things were when you were livin' here
I tore up the letter with the words misspelled
It can't bring the news that I should take you myself
I picked up my keys
and got in my car
I can't believe that I got this far
And now I guess I'm just not through lovin' you
And all I'm really askin' you to do, is to
(Repeat Chorus)
Promise me I'll
be the first to know
Won't you promise me I'll be the first to know
Yeah, yeah, won'tcha promise me I'll be the first to know...
(Repeat Chorus)
