[00:00:05] Promises

[00:00:20] When i think about the turn my life has taken

[00:00:28] I know it's because of you,

[00:00:33] that i receive so many blessings

[00:00:37] I had a home but no privacy,

[00:00:42] i didn't know a thing about my legacy

[00:00:46] When i realized you were there for me,

[00:00:51] i called on your name and you came

[00:00:53] And you did, just what you said,

[00:00:58] for that i'll love you forever

[00:01:02] You kept, your word to me,

[00:01:07] for that i'll love you forever

[00:01:10] A promise, is a promise in my eyes

[00:01:15] Can't say you're gonna just to compromise

[00:01:19] The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined

[00:01:23] A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way

[00:01:36] I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old

[00:01:44] Blessed with a mother who loved him so,

[00:01:47] she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own

[00:01:52] It wasn't easy for the two of them,

[00:01:56] but she knew she had to give him a chance

[00:02:00] At a better life, it was only right,

[00:02:06] so she worked and she prayed and she did, just what she said,

[00:02:13] for that he'll love her forever

[00:02:17] She kept her word to him,

[00:02:21] for that he'll love her forever

[00:02:25] A promise is a promise, in my eyes

[00:02:30] Can't say you're gonna just to compromise

[00:02:34] The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined

[00:02:38] A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way

[00:02:47] A man's only as good as his word

[00:03:08] Check this out

[00:03:10] Her wedding day and she's thinking about the way he won her affection

[00:03:18] She was so cynical about love because she didn't want to be heart broken again

[00:03:26] He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so

[00:03:34] She took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real

[00:03:42] And he did, just what he said,

[00:03:47] for that she'll love him forever

[00:03:50] He kept his word to her,

[00:03:55] for that she'll love him forever

[00:03:59] A promise is a promise, in my eyes

[00:04:03] Can't say you're gonna just to compromise

[00:04:08] The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined

[00:04:12] A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way

[00:04:20] No way, no, there ain't no way

[00:04:29] A man's only as good as his word
