| [00:20.53] | When i think about the turn my life has taken |
| [00:28.73] | I know it's because of you, |
| [00:33.30] | that i receive so many blessings |
| [00:37.94] | I had a home but no privacy, |
| [00:42.30] | i didn't know a thing about my legacy |
| [00:46.38] | When i realized you were there for me, |
| [00:51.12] | i called on your name and you came |
| [00:53.76] | And you did, just what you said, |
| [00:58.71] | for that i'll love you forever |
| [01:02.10] | You kept, your word to me, |
| [01:07.00] | for that i'll love you forever |
| [01:10.92] | A promise, is a promise in my eyes |
| [01:15.43] | Can't say you're gonna just to compromise |
| [01:19.40] | The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined |
| [01:23.33] | A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way |
| [01:34.60] | |
| [01:36.25] | I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old |
| [01:44.28] | Blessed with a mother who loved him so, |
| [01:47.73] | she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own |
| [01:52.71] | It wasn't easy for the two of them, |
| [01:56.88] | but she knew she had to give him a chance |
| [02:00.60] | At a better life, it was only right, |
| [02:06.44] | so she worked and she prayed and she did, just what she said, |
| [02:13.65] | for that he'll love her forever |
| [02:17.04] | She kept her word to him, |
| [02:21.96] | for that he'll love her forever |
| [02:25.90] | A promise is a promise, in my eyes |
| [02:30.27] | Can't say you're gonna just to compromise |
| [02:34.47] | The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined |
| [02:38.33] | A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way |
| [02:47.06] | A man's only as good as his word |
| [03:08.18] | Check this out |
| [03:10.28] | Her wedding day and she's thinking about the way he won her affection |
| [03:18.32] | She was so cynical about love because she didn't want to be heart broken again |
| [03:26.70] | He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so |
| [03:34.10] | She took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real |
| [03:42.61] | And he did, just what he said, |
| [03:47.41] | for that she'll love him forever |
| [03:50.93] | He kept his word to her, |
| [03:55.70] | for that she'll love him forever |
| [03:59.64] | A promise is a promise, in my eyes |
| [04:03.94] | Can't say you're gonna just to compromise |
| [04:08.11] | The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined |
| [04:12.07] | A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way |
| [04:20.17] | No way, no, there ain't no way |
| [04:29.18] | A man's only as good as his word |
