I M A Man Of My Word lyrics

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

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