Man Of My Word

i'm a man of my word

i mean what i say

my pledge is my bond

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

when 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

when 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

thank you
