When you drove me to the airport
And kissed me goodbye
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 tightWhen you called me long distance
To make sure I'd arrived
You said the house felt so empty
And you apologized for being weak
But can't you see
That's when you're a man to meWhen you show your tender side
When your heart is open wide
When you put your world on hold
And stop to listen to my needsWhen you really let it show
That I'm a part of all your dreams
That's when you're a man to meThe 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 enoughYou'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 meWhen you show your tender side
When your heart is open wide
When you put your world on hold
And stop to listen to my needsWhen you really let it show
That I'm a part of all your dreams
Oh, that's when you're a man to meWhen 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
