Steve Earle - Until the Day I Die lyrics
[Steve Earle - Until the Day I Die lyrics]
Love shined like a diamond in your eyes
I swore I'd never hurt you, then I did
Now I'm all alone with all my lies
I promised that I'd never be untrue
I'd never make you cry
The only promise that I didn't break
Was to love you till the day I die
I wish I'd never seen those city lights
A sight for a country boy to see
For every one that you see shining bright
Another is burning out like me
I wouldn't listen though you told me, dear
I couldn't see the lie
But all the same, I still love you tonight
And I'll love you till the day I die
They built this prison just for fools like me
Who don't know treasure from stone
I killed a man, now I won't ever see
The green rolling hills where I was born
No, I won't ever see your face again
But, if I close my eyes
I can almost hear you call me back to then
And I'll love you till the day I die
I'll love you till the day I die
