   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 wanna 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
