India - Promises Lyrics

When I think about the turn my life has taken
I know itÂÂÂÂÂ's because of you, that I receive so many blessings
I had a home but no privacy, I didnÂÂÂÂÂ't know a thing about my legacy
When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came
And you did, just what you said, for that IÂÂÂÂÂ'll love you forever
You kept, your word to me, for that IÂÂÂÂÂ'll love you forever

Chorus
A promise, is a promise in my eyes
CanÂÂÂÂÂ't say youÂÂÂÂÂ're gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you canÂÂÂÂÂ't deny, thereÂÂÂÂÂ's no way

I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old
Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own
It wasnÂÂÂÂÂ't easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance
At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed
And she did, just what she say, for that heÂÂÂÂÂ'll love her forever
She kept her word to him, for that heÂÂÂÂÂ'll love her forever

Chorus
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
CanÂÂÂÂÂ't say youÂÂÂÂÂ're gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you canÂÂÂÂÂ't deny, thereÂÂÂÂÂ's no way
A manÂÂÂÂÂ's only as good as his word

Instrumental break


Her wedding day and sheÂÂÂÂÂ's thinking ‘bout the way he won her affection
She was so cynical about love ‘cause she didnÂÂÂÂÂ't want to be heart broken again
He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so she
Took a chance on him and sheÂÂÂÂÂ's glad she did because he came for real
And he did, just what he said, for that sheÂÂÂÂÂ'll love him forever
He kept his word to her, for that sheÂÂÂÂÂ'll love him forever

Chorus
A promise is a promise, in my eyes
CanÂÂÂÂÂ't say youÂÂÂÂÂ're gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you canÂÂÂÂÂ't deny, thereÂÂÂÂÂ's no way
No way, there ainÂÂÂÂÂ't no way
A manÂÂÂÂÂ's only as good as his word
