I Love a Man Who Can Cry
I love a man who can cry without feeling embarrassed
Who can smile at a sunset at the end of the day
Who can listen to a symphony and get a lump in his throat
Who can write down a song and then give it away
I love a man who can see little babies
And get all mushy inside without questioning the joy
Who can hear a child's laugh and remember what fun is
Who can hear a child's laugh and remember what fun is
Who plays with puppies and kittens like he's still just a boy
I love a man who is not ashamed to be vulnerable
Who can show me his weaknesses, his fears and his thoughts
At the same time being confident of who he really is
Who can be my strong shoulder when he knows that he ought
I love a man who can hurt and then be healed by love
Who can pray darkness gone and keep demons at bay
Who can show the whole world that he's not ashamed
Of the God that he knows that made him that way
I love a man who loves with his whole heart
Who needs his woman like a flame needs to burn
Who isn't shy about saying just how much he wants her
And what he will do to make her want him in return
I love a man that works hard and plays hard
But will take rainy days off without so much as a care
When his woman needs him to stay in that bed
And shut out the world like it's not even there
I love a man whose eyes light up when he smiles
But can darken with passion when I look deep in those eyes
Who will recite my poetry like Shakespearean sonnets
Or a song so worth singing that's his joy and his pride
I love a man who can slow dance for hours
In candlelight's glow without saying word one
Who will touch me so softly that it feels like a feather
But then hold me so hard that I cry when he's gone
I love a man with a strut in his walk
Who can make the heads turn when he walks in the room
But who doesn't look back at the heads when they turn
And saves himself for the woman who's his sun and his moon
I love a man who writes poetry for me
Who writes letters to me
Who sings songs just for me
And who shows me "the him" that no one else ever sees
I love a man who takes time and is kind
Who knows and who shows that he understands
Who will hold me when I need him, you can bet I won't leave him
For he needs all the same things that I need from my man.
