[00:00:17] Promises

[00:00:19] When i think about the turn my life has taken

[00:00:23] I know it's because of you,

[00:00:28] that i receive so many blessings

[00:00:31] I had a home but no privacy,

[00:00:34] i didn't know a thing about my legacy

[00:00:38] When i realized you were there for me,

[00:00:40] i called on your name and you came

[00:00:44] And you did, just what you said,

[00:00:49] for that i'll love you forever

[00:00:52] You kept, your word to me,

[00:00:55] for that i'll love you forever

[00:00:56] A promise, is a promise in my eyes

[00:01:04] Can't say you're gonna just to compromise

[00:01:07] The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined

[00:01:13] A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way

[00:01:22] I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old

[00:01:30] Blessed with a mother who loved him so,

[00:01:33] she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own

[00:01:35] It wasn't easy for the two of them,

[00:01:38] but she knew she had to give him a chance

[00:01:41] At a better life, it was only right,

[00:01:45] so she worked and she prayed and she did, just what she said,

[00:01:49] for that he'll love her forever

[00:01:51] She kept her word to him,

[00:01:54] for that he'll love her forever

[00:01:56] A promise is a promise, in my eyes

[00:01:58] Can't say you're gonna just to compromise

[00:02:01] The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined

[00:02:06] A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way

[00:02:13] A man's only as good as his word

[00:02:15] Check this out

[00:02:16] Her wedding day and she's thinking about the way he won her affection

[00:02:20] She was so cynical about love because she didn't want to be heart broken again

[00:02:31] He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so

[00:02:40] She took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real

[00:03:06] And he did, just what he said,

[00:03:08] for that she'll love him forever

[00:03:09] He kept his word to her,

[00:03:10] for that she'll love him forever

[00:03:11] A promise is a promise, in my eyes

[00:03:16] Can't say you're gonna just to compromise

[00:03:18] The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined

[00:03:20] A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way

[00:03:24] No way, no, there ain't no way

[00:03:27] A man's only as good as his word
