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 bout the way he won her affection She was so cynical about love cause 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
