Promises

India Arie
앨범 : Acoustic Soul


When I think about the turn my life has taken
I know it뭩 because of you, that I receive so many blessings
I had a home but no privacy, I didn뭪 know a thing about my legacy
When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came
And you did, just what you said, for that I뭠l love you forever
You kept, your word to me, for that I뭠l love you forever

Chorus
A promise, is a promise in my eyes
Can뭪 say you뭨e gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you can뭪 deny, there뭩 no way

I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old
Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own
It wasn뭪 easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance
At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed
And she did, just what she say, for that he뭠l love her forever
She kept her word to him, for that he뭠l love her forever

Chorus
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
Can뭪 say you뭨e gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you can뭪 deny, there뭩 no way
A man뭩 only as good as his word

Instrumental break

Her wedding day and she뭩 thinking 멳out the way he won her affection
She was so cynical about love 멵ause she didn뭪 want to be heart broken again
He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so she
Took a chance on him and she뭩 glad she did because he came for real
And he did, just what he said, for that she뭠l love him forever
He kept his word to her, for that she뭠l love him forever

Chorus
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
Can뭪 say you뭨e gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you can뭪 deny, there뭩 no way
No way, there ain뭪 no way
A man뭩 only as good as his word
