Man of My Word

I'm a man of my word, I mean what I say My pledge is my bond That's just my way When you've made a promise To someone who's gone Well that's when forever Seems a little too long I'm a man of my word And I made you a vow I swore that I'd love you And I can't change that now They tell me I'm free To find someone new I just don't have the heart 'Cause I gave mine to you When I said my love Would last for all time And no one would take your place Well if that promise Was the last sound you heard Well you know I kept it I'm a man of my word I'm a man of my word And it's cost me so dear 'Cause those words are a prison Without you here And I'll go to my grave With this torch held high Bust just once I wish I had told you a lie When I said my love Would last for all time And no one would take your place Well if that promise Was the last sound you heard Well you know I kept it, I'm a man of my word Yes I'll always love you, I'm a man of my word
