Want you to know I’m a man;

That’s all I am.
Chorus
I am a man that you can count on/
I am a man that you can lean on
Call out my name and I’ll be there.
I’m a man you can be sure of, baby,
It’s your love that takes me there, takes me there.
Wanted to show I’m a man;
Say the words and I’ll say it again;
Want you to know I’m a man you can depend upon,
That’s all I am.

I’ll walk in the rain by your side,
I’ll cling to the warmth your hand.
I’ll do anything to (keep you satisfied/help you understand)
I’ll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me.
Little birds will sing along in time.
Leaves will bow down when you walk by,
And morning bells will chime.
I’ll be there when you’re feelin’ down,
To kiss away the tears if you cry
I’ll share with you all the happiness I’ve found;
A reflection of the love in your eyes
And I’ll sing you the songs of the rainbow;
A whisper of the joy that is mine
And leaves will bow down when you walk by,
And morning bells will chime.

In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It’s just a photograph of someone that I knew
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it’s like on the outside?
Don’t go talking too loud
You’ll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
Or have they given up and all gone home to bed?
Thinking those who once existed must be dead?

People smile and tell me I’m the lucky one, and we’ve just begun,
Think I’m gonna have a son.
He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love,
Sun is gonna shine above.
Chorus:
And even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with ya honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes,
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.
Seems as though a month ago I beta chi, never got high,
Oh, I was a sorry guy.
And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name,
Now I’m through with the game, this boy will never be the same.
Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind,
And the little boy is mine.
Now I see a family where there once was none, now we’ve just begun,
Yeah, we’re gonna fly to the sun.
Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, drink it up,
Love her and she’ll bring you luck.
And if you find she helps your mind, buddy, take her home,
Don’t you live alone; try to earn what lovers own.

I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail.
Yes I would. If I could, I surely would.
I’d rather be a hammer than a nail.
Yes I would. If I only could, I surely would.
Away, I’d rather sail away
Like a swan that’s here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound, its saddest sound
I’d rather be a forest than a street.
Yes I would. If I could, I surely would.
I’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes I would. If I only could, I surely would.

Standing in the dock at Southampton,
Trying to get to Holland or France
The man in the Mac said, “You’ve got to go back”
You know they didn’t even give us a chance.
Chorus
Christ you know it ain’t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me.
Finally made the plane into Paris,
Honey mooning down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say,
“You can make it O.K.,
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain”.
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspaper said, “Say what you doing in bed?”
I said, “We’re only trying to get us some peace”
Saving up your money for a rainy day,
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said,
“Oh boy, when you’re dead
You don’t take nothing with you
But your soul – think”
Made a lightning trip to Vienna,
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The newspaper said, “She’s gone to his head,
They look just like two gurus in drag”
Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack.
The men from the press said, “We wish you success,
It’s good to have the both of you back”

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea,
To the sea, to the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh wait for me, wait for me
I’ll be coming home wait for me
