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 say, 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 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 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
