Man of My Word — текст песни (Collin Raye)

(Allen Shamlin/Gary Burr)

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
Bust just
once I wish
I had told you a lie.

Yes I`ll always love you
I`m
a man of my word
