Something about a Man
There’s something about a man
That starts a fire in the cold ashes
Of my heart
There’s a man that flirt or stare
There’s a man who wink or shy
Making me wonder what it all means
Living for the moment
There’s something about a man I love
That makes me whole
There’s something about a man
Turns the frown on my face
Into a smile that heals
There’s something about a man
That changes my raging storms
Deep within to a day of sunshine ray
There’s something about a man
That bonds my shattered heart
Mending it slowly with each touch
Living for the moment
There’s something about a man I love
That makes me whole
Going through life taking the good with the bad
Living in limbo not knowing
Where the winds of life will take me
A gentleman hard to find
Not being treated with honor
Leaves me sailing lonely seas
Blown by worldly winds finding
A man strong and chivalrous
That rescue feminine struggles
Makes my heart rejoice
Living for the moment
That something about a man I love
That makes me whole
Is what I miss when it is all over
