Your Song (The Man I Am Today)

YOUR SONG © 2009 (Tony Bonnici)

Verse 1
I know what it’s like to be
Alone at night when my heart is in another place
I tell myself I’m alright
But I’m up all night longing just to see your face

On the inside I get lonely
But-on the outside I’m the clown
I just wanna be with you
My one and only
I’ve seen too many one-horse towns

Verse 2
Lovin’ eyes and a heart of gold
When I take a fall
You pick me up from my mistakes
You also look at me so cold
When I act the fool
You always put me in my place

I never tell you how I’m feeling
Cos-on the outside I’m the clown
But as I lie here staring at another ceiling
I wish I’d let the walls come down

Chorus
I used to think I was a self made man
Making my tomorrows with my own plans
You’ve walked with me through many yesterdays
I wanna thank you
For making me the man I am today

Lookin’ back through all the years
With you I wouldn’t have it any other way
Through rich and poor and joy and tears
If I had the chance
With you I’d do it all again

Now I’ve told you how I’m feeling
I’m tired of acting like a clown
And as I lie here listening to your heart beating
I’m glad I let my walls come down CHORUS
