SHADOW OF THE MAN
If there's something else that I could be,
A looking glass, I'd choose to be;
So that through me, you can see your beauty,
Readily, fittingly, ... naturally.
If there's somewhere else that I would be,
It's in your arms for eternity;
For your embrace, it comforts me,
So soft, so warm, ... so tenderly.
If there's one thing that I would have,
It's the rarest gem, the choicest cut;
That I may trade it for your love,
A love the world doesn't have enough.
If there's one truth that I would learn,
It's what my love to you does mean;
For not my will, your dreams to ruin,
And I'll never ever cause you pain.
But then I hope you'd understand,
That what I dream isn't what I am;
Though all I've wished I all do mean,
I am just a shadow of the man.
