The man you were

Mean so much to me

I only lived

When he was there

The man you were

I will he knew me

How in this beauty bleed

We used to be a pair

Were you the man

I said hello too

A gentleman

But oh so strong

He had it all

When did it go to

I'll good it finally

Turn out to be so wrong

I tried to find

Familiar trace it

But every time

He's face it's just of love

That man you were

If I could find him

I'd bring him back

From years to year

I'd hold him close

And I'd remind him

That I'll be here

Whatever may come

Because my dear

I love the man you were

Because my dear

I love the man you were

Because my dear

I love the man you were
