| [00:20.53] |
When i think about the turn my life has taken |
| [00:28.73] |
I know it's because of you, |
| [00:33.30] |
that i receive so many blessings |
| [00:37.94] |
I had a home but no privacy, |
| [00:42.30] |
i didn't know a thing about my legacy |
| [00:46.38] |
When i realized you were there for me, |
| [00:51.12] |
i called on your name and you came |
| [00:53.76] |
And you did, just what you said, |
| [00:58.71] |
for that i'll love you forever |
| [01:02.10] |
You kept, your word to me, |
| [01:07.00] |
for that i'll love you forever |
| [01:10.92] |
A promise, is a promise in my eyes |
| [01:15.43] |
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise |
| [01:19.40] |
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined |
| [01:23.33] |
A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way |
| [01:34.60] |
|
| [01:36.25] |
I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old |
| [01:44.28] |
Blessed with a mother who loved him so, |
| [01:47.73] |
she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own |
| [01:52.71] |
It wasn't easy for the two of them, |
| [01:56.88] |
but she knew she had to give him a chance |
| [02:00.60] |
At a better life, it was only right, |
| [02:06.44] |
so she worked and she prayed and she did, just what she said, |
| [02:13.65] |
for that he'll love her forever |
| [02:17.04] |
She kept her word to him, |
| [02:21.96] |
for that he'll love her forever |
| [02:25.90] |
A promise is a promise, in my eyes |
| [02:30.27] |
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise |
| [02:34.47] |
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined |
| [02:38.33] |
A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way |
| [02:47.06] |
A man's only as good as his word |
| [03:08.18] |
Check this out |
| [03:10.28] |
Her wedding day and she's thinking about the way he won her affection |
| [03:18.32] |
She was so cynical about love because she didn't want to be heart broken again |
| [03:26.70] |
He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so |
| [03:34.10] |
She took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real |
| [03:42.61] |
And he did, just what he said, |
| [03:47.41] |
for that she'll love him forever |
| [03:50.93] |
He kept his word to her, |
| [03:55.70] |
for that she'll love him forever |
| [03:59.64] |
A promise is a promise, in my eyes |
| [04:03.94] |
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise |
| [04:08.11] |
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined |
| [04:12.07] |
A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way |
| [04:20.17] |
No way, no, there ain't no way |
| [04:29.18] |
A man's only as good as his word |
