When you drove me to the airport

And kissed me good bye

I had to smile through my tears

At those tears in your eyes

I was just leaving you for a week

But you held me so tight



When you called me long distance

To make sure I arrived

You said the house felt so empty

And you apologized

For being weak

Can't you see

That's when you're a man to me



When you show your tender side

When your heart is open wide

When you put your world on hold

And stop to listen to my needs

When you really let it show

That I'm a part of all your dreams

That's when you're a man to me



The strength of your arms

Thrills me so much

But you make the earth move

WIth the softness of your touch

And the love that you give me

Will always be enough



You've got nothing to prove

You've got nothing to hide

And you impress me the most

When you don't even try

When your feelings shine through

Oh, that's when you're a man to me



When you show your tender side

When your heart is open wide

When you put your world on hold

And stop to listen to my needs

When you really let it show

That I'm a part of all your dreams

That's when you're a man to me



When you put your world on hold

And stop to listen to my needs

When you really let it show

That I'm a part of all your dreams

Oh, that's when you're a man to me
