And That Was the Day That I Promised Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my mama swore that she would
Never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I’d never sing of love if it does not exist
[Chorus]
But, darling
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
[Verse 2]
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul, that love never lasts
And we’ve got to find other ways
To make it alone, but keep a straight face
And I’ve always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now, I had sworn to myself
That I’m content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
[Chorus]
Well, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
[Bridge]
I’ve got a tight grip on reality
But I can’t, let go of what’s in front of me here
I know you’re leaving in the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream
[Chorus]
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
[Outro]
And I’m on my way to believing
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing
