The mother in me wants to dry your tears Settle all your worries and fears Hold you close to my chest And wish you to have all the best. The lover in me needs you closer still Even all through the night if you will I'll hold your body close to mine We'll talk about the future and lose track of time. And will you be my everyman And I'll love you in every way I can. I'll play every role you need me to Just as long as we walk in each others shoes. The child in me needs a helping hand Someone to catch me, a big strong man. Someone to tell me it'll all be okay When I'm lost in this world and can't find my way. The friend in me wants to crack a joke Make you laugh so hard you just might choke. Talk about life, talk about love, And talk about death and what's up above. And will you be my everyman And I'll love you in every way I can. I'll play every role you need me to As long as we walk in each others shoes.
