Ghost Of A Promise

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
