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
