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 and I made you a vow I swore that I'd loved 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 But just once I wish I had told you a lie I said my love would last, Yes I'll always love you I'm a man of my word
