Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here I am on my own again
The days rush by
The nights all seems so slow
Guess I've let you down
In my way, some how
If you take me back
I know we'll make it
We'll make a promise
And then break it
[Chorus]
On my honor I will try
Always do the best I can
Though the tears may fall like raindrops from my eyes, honey
On my honor I will try
[Bridge]
If you want me to be strong
I'll give it everything I have
You'll never have to worry
'Cause we're not in a hurry
On my honor I will try
[Verse 2]
It's a lover's dance
In a fiery chant
Don't be afraid to face the music now
It's a gambler's chance
Not a lost romance
And I'm not you
And you're not me
And sometimes we feel differently
[Chorus]
On my honor I will try
Always do the best I can
Though the tears may fall like raindrops from my eyes, honey
On my honor I will try
If you want me to be strong
I'll give it everything I have
You'll never have to worry
‘Cause we're not in a hurry
On my honor I will try
[Outro]
I'll try
I will try
I'll try
