(allen shamlin/gary burr)
Im a man of my word
I mean what I say
My pledge is my bond
Well
Thats just my way
When youve made a promise
To someone whos gone
Well
Thats when forever
Seems a little too long
Im a man of my word
And
I made you a vow
I swore that Id love you
And I cant change that now
They tell me Im free
To find someone new
I just dont 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
Im a man of my word
Im a
Man of my word
And its cost me so dear
cause those words are a prison
Without
You here
And Ill go to my grave
With this torch held high
Bust just
Once I wish
I had told you a lie.
Yes Ill always love you
Im
A man of my word
