[Verse 1]
Can you be true?
Can this possibly be real?
I knew quite suddenly
Do you sense how I feel?
I long to hear you whisper my name
'Til you tell me
"My darling, you may be my man"
[Verse 2]
There will be days when you must go from my sight
There may be nights when clouds deny us starlight
Only time will tell us
I hope that it speaks gently if it isn't meant to be
Then again
By then we might not be listening so attentively
[Verse 3]
I will be there
If the days bring torments and trials
To close the distances only measured in miles
I long to hold you all through the night
And to tell you
"My darling, you make everything seem right"
[Outro]
And then I'll hear you calling my name
And I'll answer
"My darling, I may be your man"
