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 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
*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
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
