To Be Your Man

(Don Williams / Danny Flowers)

From the film "Smokey And The Bandit II" (1980)



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...
