A Man Of Your Word

On my knees with a box of your old letters

The pages stain from all the tears I’ve cried

The voice inside in my mind says, “Son, forget her.”

These promises you read are only lies

I know that I should listen close to reason

But I hear the echoes of your vows instead

And though my heart lies victim to her treason

I realize I still mean every word you said

If everything I say sounds familiar

Though you’re right I’m just repeating what I’ve heard

To tell the truth I couldn't see it better than you did

I’ll always be a man of your word

I reach for your picture on my dresser

A small inscription inside above your name

Says I will love you always and forever

Well I guess to you that never meant a thing

If everything I say sounds familiar

Though you’re right I’m just repeating what I’ve heard

To tell the truth I couldn't see it better than you did

I’ll always be a man of your word

Yes I’ll always be a man of your word
