I'm a man of my word
I mean what I say
My pledge is my bond
Well，that's just my way
When you've made a promise
To someone who's gone
Well，that's when forever
Seems a little too long
I'm a man of my word
And I made you a vow
I swore that I'd love you
And I can't change that now
They tell me I'm free
To find someone new
I just don't have the heart
'Cause I gave mine to you
I said my love would last for all time
And no one would take your place
Well, if that promise was the last sound you heard
Well ,you know I kept it
I'm a man of my word
I'm a man of my word
And it's cost me so dear
'Cause those words are a prison
without you here
And I'll go to my grave
With this torch held high
But just once ,I wish
I had told you a lie.
I said my love would last for all time
And no one would take your place
Well, if that promise
Was the last sound you heard
Well ,you know I kept it
I'm a man of my word
Yes I'll always love you
I'm a man of my word |
