(If it won't play, click here for playback) (I recommend IE 6.0 ~ If you need IE 6.0 click here) Promise Not To Tell Her If you promise not to tell her you've been here Then I think the chances have become quite clear That if you want to stay here Then we could become quite near If you promise not to tell her you've been here If you promise not to tell her you've been 'round Then I know that you'll agree that it is sound 'Cause I do want you to stay And I'm sure we'll find a way If you promise not to tell her you've been 'round Chorus: I Don't know what I possibly could do I can think of nothing but you! Guitar solo Chorus: I Don't know what I possibly could do I can think of nothing but you! When she finds out you've been here, then she will cry And there's really no where we can ever hide But I do want you to stay And I'm sure we'll find a way If you promise not to tell her you've been here If you promise not to tell her you've been here If you promise not to tell her you've been here Words and music by Gregory Hatfield Copyright 2002 TimeSpirit Publishing (Ind.) Greg Hatfield: Rythym guitar, vocals Ron La Caria: Lead guitar See Greg's Dan Fogelberg Web Site At http://riverofsouls.net "Promise Not To Tell Her" is a song about new, unbridled passion in the wake of love's labor lost. While the old flame has been extinguished and the embers are cooling, the spark of a new one has been ignited in its place. Even though his old love no longer holds the same place in his heart, he still does not want to hurt her feelings, so he pleads with his new love to promise not to tell his old love about her. However, he knows that this new love cannot remain a secret forever, and that ultimately, there is no place for him and his new love to hide, and that his old love will, unfortunately, suffer the pain of knowing that he has found someone new to take her place...
