Aaron Neville
Be Your Man
[Verse 1]
I pulled down her head to my heart and said
Don’t you feel how it’s beating?
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
She held a child in her arm but
She was the one who was weeping
Baby blue eyes
The color of the sky

[Chorus]
So if you’re lonely and you need me, I’ll be your man
(I will be)
If ever trouble comes around you, I’ll be your man
(I will be)
If you’ve got something to go through, need someone to hold you, just take my hand
(Just take my hand)
I’ll be your man, I’ll be your man
(I will be)

[Verse 2]
She held that cross to her skin and said
“Jesus, you hear how I’m pleading?”
A rose-colored lens
To cover up my sins
She held her feelings within
And suddenly screamed out in pain
“Where have you been?”
I’ve been here all along
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I’m the burning ember, in your heart
If you lose your way, I’ll be your fire, in the dark

[Chorus]

Baby, don’t you worry
Take my hand
I’ll be your man
