Lyrics
A Man Like You (Capo 3)
Music and Lyrics by Mark E. Porro 2019
Well its been a long, long time since youve been gone,
And I found my strength through you to carry on,
Not a day goes by that I dont think of you,
I know youre looking down, so I wanna make you proud,
And I wanna be a man like you.
You explained to me the things a man should know,
The good, the bad and all things in between,
But its the love you gave that helped to get me through,
Even though youre not around, I still wanna make you proud,
Cause I wanna be a man like you.
chorus
You told me once that time is fleeting,
Before you know your days are all but gone,
Nothing in this world comes easy,
Life builds walls and you need to knock them down,
One by one.
Repeat Chorus
When my time earth comes to an end,
Youll be standing by my side forever more,
No, Ill never be alone,
When the angels call me home,
And as certain as a sunny sky is blue,
I tried my best, I hope you know its true,
That I tried to be a man like you,
Yes, I tried to be a man like you.
