Yes I Can

Styx · Cyclorama [2003]

So they say that a man can't live in this world

If he's wearing his heart on his sleeve

I can



And they say that a man can't understand

What a women needs when she cries

I can

I can



And I can see you standing in the yard

Tending the roses in your garden

The sun is shining through your cotton dress

And I will freeze this moment here in time

I could live forever in your garden

Ah yes

Yes I can



Fool doesn't know what he's missing the most

It's a bitch of a place to be in

Here I am



How would I know I could give up the ghost

And still hold all your dreams in my hand

Here I am

Here I am



And I can see you standing in the yard

Tending the roses in your garden

The wind is blowing through your golden hair

And I will freeze this moment here in time

I could live forever in your garden

Ah yes

Yes I can



And I can see you standing in the yard

Tending the roses in your garden

The sun is shining through your cotton dress

And I will freeze this moment here in time

I could live forever in your garden

Oh yes

Yes I can



And I can be your man

Mmm, yes I can
