| 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
|
| 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
|
| Bust 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 |
