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 [C7]your name and [Bm]you [A7came
And you [A7did, just what you [A7said, for [Dm7]that I'll love you [A7forever
You kept, your word to [C7]me, for [Dm7]that I'll love you [A7forever
[Chorus]
A promise, is a promise in my [A]eyes
Can't say you're gonna just to [C7]compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you [A7can't deny, there's no way
I think of when there was [Am7]a young boy, not even two years old
Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to [C7]nourish his own
It wasn't easy for [Dm7]the two of them, but she knew she had to [C7]give him a chance
At a better life, it was [Am7]only ɾight, so she worked and [Bm]she prayed
And she did, just what she say, for [Dm7]that he'll love her forever
She kept her word to [C7]him, for [Dm7]that he'll love her forever
[Chorus]
A promise is a promise, in my [A]eyes
Can't say you're gonna just to [C7]compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you [A7can't deny, there's no way
A man's only as good as his word
Her wedding day and [Bm]she's thinking 'bout the way he won [C7]her affection
She was [Am7]so cynical about love 'cause she didn't want to [C7]be [Am]heart broken again
He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to [C7]protect her so she
Took a chance on [C7]him and [Bm]she's glad she did because he came for [Dm7]ɾeal
And he did, just what he said, for [Dm7]that she'll love him forever
He kept his word to [C7]her, for [Dm7]that she'll love him forever
[Chorus]
A promise is a promise, in my [A]eyes
Can't say you're gonna just to [C7]compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you [A7can't deny, there's no way
No way, there ain't no way
A man's only as good as his word
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 [C7]your name and [Bm]you [A7came
And you [A7did, just what you [A7said, for [Dm7]that I'll love you [A7forever
You kept, your word to [C7]me, for [Dm7]that I'll love you [A7forever
[Chorus]
A promise, is a promise in my [A]eyes
Can't say you're gonna just to [C7]compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you [A7can't deny, there's no way
I think of when there was [Am7]a young boy, not even two years old
