Promises

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

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 said, for that he'll love her forever

She kept her word to him, for that he'll love her forever

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

Check this out

Her wedding day and she's thinking 'bout

The way he won her affections

She was so cynical about love 'cause she

Didn't want to be heartbroken 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 that 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, and for that she'll love him forever

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, no, there ain't no way

A man's only as good as his word
