Promises |
|
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 said, |
|
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 |
|
Check this out |
|
Her wedding day and she's thinking about the way he won her affection |
|
She was so cynical about love because 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 |
|
No way, no, there ain't no way |
|
A man's only as good as his word |
