The Commitment Lyrics

Sad former brother-in-law It's such a shame How common place Single parenting is these days
Your first mistake Was letting work get in the way The long hours you kept Gave her time to stray Imagine what could've been Had you been with her to say
CHORUS: I’ve made all these commitments To running this old business That you probably think I’ve forgotten What’s most important in my life The commitment I made To spend it with you my wife
There’s an old similar story I probably should’ve told you before [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-commitment-lyrics-dean-strickland.html ] You see, my father was a real hard worker He spent his days and nights doing chores
But wiser than the new generation He knew when enough was enough And he never forgot or left lonesome The only woman he ever loved He'd say to her
CHORUS
Now, the long nights I spend In the honky tonks and clubs Doesn’t give me much time for nothin’ Except singin’ ‘bout love, and lost love
But I’ve made myself a promise When I find that one special girl I’ll find time to be there for her So we can share our worlds I won’t forget to say
CHORUS
