When you drove me to the airport
And you kiss me goodbye
I had to smile through my tears
At the 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'd 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
Chorus
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
Verse 2
The strength to your arms
Thrills me so much
But you make the world 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
You impress me the most
When you don't even try
When your feelings shine through
That's when you're a man to me
Chorus
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
