The Man I Want to Be - Engelbert Humperdinck

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 anymore

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
