Testo Promises - India.Arie
Testo della canzone Promises (India.Arie), tratta dall'album Acoustic Soul
When I think about the turn my life has taken
I know it's because of you that I received so many blessings
I had a home but no privacy
I didn't know a thing about my legacy
When I realized you were there for me
I called on your name and you came
You did just what you said
For that I'll love you forever
You kept your word to me
For that I'll love you forever
A promise is a promise in my eyes
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you can't deny
There's no way
I remember 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 wasn'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, she prayed
She did just what she said
For that he'll love her forever
She kept her word to him
For that he'll love her forever
A promise is a promise in my eyes
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you can't deny
There's no way
A man's only as good as his word
Her wedding day and she's thinking 'bout
The way he won her affections
She was so cynical about love
'Cause she didn't wanna be heartbroken again
He looked her in her eye with sincerity
Said he only wanted to protect her
So she took a chance on him
And she's glad that she did
Because he came for real
And he did just what he said
For that she'll love him forever
He kept his word to her
For that she'll love him forever
A promise is a promise in my eyes
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise you can't deny
There's no way
No way
No, there ain't no way
A man's only as good as his word
