Lyrics of Man of my word

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, i made you a vow
I swore that i'd love you, i can't change that now
They tell my i'm free to find someone new
But i just don't have the heart
Cause i gave mine to you
Chorus
When i said my love would last for all time,
And no-one could take your place
Well if that promise was that 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 told you a lie
Chorus
Yes i'll always love you, i'm a man of my word
