Man Of My Word

(allen shamlin/gary burr)



I'm a man of my word

I mean what i say

My pledge is my bond

Well

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 love 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

Bust just

Once i wish

I had told you a lie.



Yes i'll always love you

I'm

A man of my word
