Be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
It's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can
To be your man

High on a hill, standing alone
I'll tell the world everything I've loved
Raise my hand, testify
My love is real
When I laugh, when I cry
I would never, never lie
I'll do all, all that I can
To be your man

So, be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
Well it's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can
To be your man

When we're old, old and gray
And the children have moved away
And it's time, our time again, for being alone
Then you'll look, look and see
Love's been good to you and me
Understand, it's my plan
To be your man

So won't you be my love, be my friend
Help me grow, help me bend
Understand, now and then, when I do wrong
Well it's for you that I try
I will live till the day I die
Giving all, all that I can
To be your man
