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
