When I think about the turn my life has taken
|
I know it's because of you, that I receive so many blessings
|
I had a home but no privacy, I didn't 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 I'll love you forever
|
You kept, your word to me, for that I'll love you forever
|
|
Chorus
|
A promise, is a promise in my eyes
|
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
|
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
|
A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's 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 wasn't 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 he'll love her forever
|
She kept her word to him, for that he'll love her forever
|
|
Chorus
|
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
|
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
|
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
|
A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way
|
A man's only as good as his word
|
|
Instrumental break
|
|
Her wedding day and she's thinking 멳out the way he won her affection
|
She was so cynical about love 멵ause she didn't 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 she's glad she did because he came for real
|
And he did, just what he said, for that she'll love him forever
|
He kept his word to her, for that she'll love him forever
|
|
Chorus
|
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
|
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
|
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
|
A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way
|
No way, there ain't no way
|
A man's only as good as his word
|
