India Arie - Promises Lyrics
When I think about the turn my life has takenI know its because of you, that I receive so many blessingsI had a home but no privacy, I didnt know a thing about my legacyWhen I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you cameAnd you did, just what you said, for that Ill love you foreverYou kept, your word to me, for that Ill love you foreverChorusA promise, is a promise in my eyesCant say youre gonna just to compromiseThe very thing that keeps two hearts intertwinedA promise is a promise you cant deny, theres no wayI think of when there was a young boy, not even two years oldBlessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish hisOwnIt wasnt easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chanceAt a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayedAnd she did, just what she said, for that hell love her foreverShe kept her word to him, for that hell love her foreverChorusA promise is a promise, in my eyesCant say youre gonna just to compromiseThe very thing that keeps two hearts intertwinedA promise is a promise you cant deny, theres no wayA mans only as good as his word[instrumental break]Check this outHer wedding day and shes thinking bout the way he won her affectionShe was so cynical about love cause she didnt want to be heart broken againHe looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her soSheTook a chance on him and shes glad she did because he came for realAnd he did, just what he said, for that shell love him foreverHe kept his word to her, for that shell love him foreverChorus:A promise is a promise, in my eyesCant say youre gonna just to compromiseThe very thing that keeps two hearts intertwinedA promise is a promise you cant deny, theres no wayNo way, no, there aint no wayA mans only as good as his word----------------------------------------------------------------------------
