When I think about the turn my life has taken
I know itÔÇÖs because of you, that I receive so many blessings
I had a home but no privacy, I didnÔÇÖt know a thing about my legacy
When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came
And you did, just what you said, for that IÔÇÖll love you forever
You kept, your word to me, for that IÔÇÖll love you forever
Chorus
A promise, is a promise in my eyes
CanÔÇÖt say youÔÇÖre gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you canÔÇÖt deny, thereÔÇÖs no way
I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old
Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own
It wasnÔÇÖt easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance
At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed
And she did, just what she say, for that heÔÇÖll love her forever
She kept her word to him, for that heÔÇÖll love her forever
Chorus
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
CanÔÇÖt say youÔÇÖre gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you canÔÇÖt deny, thereÔÇÖs no way
A manÔÇÖs only as good as his word
Instrumental break
Her wedding day and sheÔÇÖs thinking ÔÇÿbout the way he won her affection
She was so cynical about love ÔÇÿcause she didnÔÇÖt want to be heart broken again
He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so she
Took a chance on him and sheÔÇÖs glad she did because he came for real
And he did, just what he said, for that sheÔÇÖll love him forever
He kept his word to her, for that sheÔÇÖll love him forever
Chorus
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
CanÔÇÖt say youÔÇÖre gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you canÔÇÖt deny, thereÔÇÖs no way
No way, there ainÔÇÖt no way
A manÔÇÖs only as good as his word
