Softly and so gracefully
All you do with so much ease
If they could see what I could see
That there's more to you
A father, friend, a lover too
There's nothing that you cannot do
We're better all because of you
And your selfless heart
You're the measure of a man
You shine your light
On everyone you touch
And when the seas of life get rough
You're there the final hour
Even the strongest ones arm
Will need someone
Won't you let me be the One?
When everyone has long gone home
The work is done, we're all alone
Just come to me, let your walls come down
And I'll care for you
I can hold you you too
I'll love you as you are
You're the measure of a man
