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
