The Man I Want to Be

Sometimes I feel a shadow fall across my heart

 Sometimes the distance and the sadness is too hard

 And you try your best to reach me 

 But I can’t reach back for you

 I know that I’m not easy when there’s just no getting through

 I’m sorry if I ever made you feel unsure

 Made you think I didn’t love you any more

 When I don’t know how to show it

 When my heart is trying to hide

 Darling can’t you see it in my eyes 

 You are the light, you are the sun

 You are the one right thing when my whole world is wrong

 And through it all you still love me

 For the man I am and the man I want to be

 When my troubles weigh me down you take the weight

 Your love for me is like a bridge that never breaks

 And for all my faults and failings you can see a better man

 Somehow you still take me as I am

 You are the light, you are the sun

 You are the one right thing when my whole world is wrong

 And through it all you still love me

 For the man I am and the man I want to be

 You’re the northern star that guides me

 When the shoreline can’t be found

 You’re the one that understands me 

 When the rain is coming down

 You are the light, you are the sun

 You are the one right thing when my whole world is wrong

 And through it all you still love me

 For the man I am and the man I want to be

 You are the light, you are the sun

 You are the spark of inspiration in my song

 And through it all you still love me

 For the man I am and the man I want to be

 For the man I am and the man I want to be
