Verse 1
When I think about the turn my life has taken
I know, that its cause of you that I received so many blessings
I had a home with no privacy
I didn't know a thing about my legacy
When I realized you were there for me
I call 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 your gonna just a compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts in a twin
A promise is a promise you can't deny
There's no way

Verse 2
I remember when there was a young boy
Not even two years old Left with a mother who loves 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
To have a better life It was only right
So 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

Chorus
A promise is a promise In my eyes
Can't say your gonna just a compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts in a twin
A promise is a promise you can't deny
There's no way
A man's only as good as his word

Verse 3
Her wedding day and thinkg bout the way he won her affection
She was so cynical about love cause she didn't want to be heartbroken, again
He looked her in her eyes with sincerity
Said he only wanted to protect her so she
Took a chance on him and she's glad that she did
Cause he came for real and
He did, just what he said
For that she'll love him forever
He kept, her word to her
For that she'll love him forever

Chorus
A promise is a promise In my eyes
Can't say your gonna just a compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts in a twin
A promise is a promise you can't deny
There's no way
No way There is no way
A man's only as good as his word
