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, I made you a vow I swore that I'd love you, I can't change that now They tell my I'm free to find someone new But 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 could take your place Well If that promise was that 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 told you a lie
When I said my love would last for all time, And no-one could take your place Well If that promise was that last sound you heard Well you know I kept it, I'm a man of my word
