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
