Do what I can
I am the man
Show no pain
Emotion or disdain
I know you see me
Through your loving eyes
Show no weakness
To all those other guys
When I am poorly
You will comfort me
Be my guardian angel
Be my night nurse
I’m close to falling in
I’m close to darkness now
I’m calling for your love
I’m close to you somehow
Now I’m sleeping softly
I’m dreaming of my life
All those stories never told
The heart is warm my hands are cold
On a table full of flowers
Are watching from above
You’re counting down the hours
Just like a woman should
