Measure Of A Man

Oooooo
Ooooooo
If one day you discover him
Broken down
He's lost everything
No cars, no fancy clothes
To make him who he's not
The woman at his side
Is all that he has got

Why do you ask him
Move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?

Would he walk on water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire?
Would he give his life up
To be all he can?
Is that
Is that
Is that
How you measure a man?

If by chance all he had to give you
Was three words wrapped around your finger
Would that be deep enough
At the end of every day?
And how will you ever know
If the man is what he says?

Why do you ask him
Move heaven and earth
To prove he his love has worth?

Would he walk on water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire?
Would he give his life up
To be all he can?
Is that
Is that
Is that
How you measure a man?

He never gives up
Let's go of his dreams
His world goes around
For his one true belief
Is that how you know?
Is that what it means?

Hey
Would he walk on water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you?

Will he be your anchor
When the dark unfolds?
Will he always love you
The best that he knows?
Would he give his life up
To be all he can?
Is that
Is that
Is that
How you measure a man?

Would he walk on water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire?
Would he give his life up
To be all he can?
Is that
Is that
Is that
How you measure oh-woh
Is that
Is that
Is that

How you measure a man?

You can try to hide away
From every drop of rain
That's hanging over you
And you can say it's all a waste
Lost your time and space
There's nothing left to lose
Like a broken angel on the ground
Like a symphony without a sound
Turn around

Everything you are
Everywhere you've been
The sinner and the saint
That fight the battle within
Every place you go
Everybody knows
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine
You are gonna shine

In the mirror of your soul
I know that you know
You are not forsaken
Hey butterfly, open up your weary eyes
And realize
It's a trip we're taking
And the world will turn around again
And your shattered heart is gonna mend
In the end

Everything you are
Everywhere you've been
The sinner and the saint
That fight the battle within
Every place you go
Everybody knows
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine
You are gonna shine

Baby, let's go riding on shooting stars (stars)
(You are gonna shine)
Watch the crescent moon smile to your heart (to your heart)
(Shine)
You are going to shine
(shine)
You are going to shine

Everything you are
Everywhere you've been
The sinner and the saint
That fight the battle within
Every place you go
Everybody knows
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine

Everything you are (everything you are)
Everywhere you've been (everywhere you've been)
The sinner and the saint (Oh)
That fight the battle within (fight the battle within)
Every place you go (everywhere you go)
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine
You are gonna shine
(Oh)
(You are gonna shine)

There's somethin' 'bout the way
You look tonight
There's somethin' bout the way that
I can't take my eyes off you

There's somethin' 'bout the way
Your lips invite
Maybe it's the way that
I get nervous when you're around

And I want you to be mine
And if you need a reason why

It's in the way that
You move me
And the way that
You tease me
The way that
I want you tonight

It's in the way that
You hold me
And the way that
You know me
And when I can't find
The right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way

Somethin' 'bout how you stay on my mind
There's somethin' 'bout the way that
I whisper your name when I'm asleep, oh, girl
Maybe it's the look
You get in your eyes
Oh, baby, it's the way that
It makes me feel to see you smile
And the reasons they may change
But what I'm feelin' stays the same

In the way that
You move me
And the way that
You tease me
The way that
I want you tonight (tonight)

It's in the way that
You hold me
And the way that
You know me
And when I can't find
The right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way

I can't put my fingers on
Just what it is that makes me
Love you, you, baby
So don't ask me to describe
I get all choked up inside
Just thinkin' 'bout the way

It's in the way that (Oh)
You move me
And the way that
You tease me
The way that I want you tonight (tonight)

Oh (It's in the way that)
You hold me (the way you hold me, yeah)
And the way that
You know me (the way you know me)
When I can find the right words to say (Feel it in the)
It's in the way that
You move me
And the way that
You tease me (feelin')
The way-ay-ay-ay-ay ~ (feel it in the way)

There's somethin' 'bout the way you look tonight
There's nothin' more to say than
I feel it in the way

When the world wasn't upside down, I could take all the time I had
But I'm not going to wait when a moment can vanish so fast

'Cuz every kiss is a kiss you can never get back

Lift me up in your eyes
If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you'd be right
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night

When the answer to all my dreams is as close as a touch away
Why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say?

Lift me up in your eyes
If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you'd be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the Earth and we'll fly
I've been waiting forever this
This is the night

This is the night where we capture forever all our tomorrow's begin
After tonight, we will never be lonely again

Lift me up in your eyes
If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you'd be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the Earth and we'll fly
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night

Yeah, I know it hurts
Yeah, I know you're scared
Walkin' down
The road that leads
To Who-Knows-Where

Dont'cha hang your head
Dont'cha give up yet
When courage starts
To disappear
I will be right here

When your world
Breaks down
And the voices tell you,
"Turn around"
When your dreams
Give out
I will carry you
Carry you
When the stars
Go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you're fallin'
Behind
I will carry you

Everybody cries
Everybody bleeds
No one ever
Said that life's
An easy thing
That's the beauty of it
When you lose your way
Close your eyes
'N' go to sleep
Wake up to
Another day

When your world
Breaks down
And the voices tell you,
"Turn around"
When your dreams
Give out
I will carry you
Carry you

When the stars
Go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you've fallen
Behind
I will carry you

You should know now
That you're not alone
Take my heart and we will find
You will find
Your way ho-ome

When your dreams
give out
I will carry you
Carry you
When the stars
Go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you've fallen
Behind
I will carry you
Carry you
I will carry you
Carry you

I've been watchin' you from afar
And the way you make your way 'round the bar
You laugh like you're really entertained
And you smile like it's your favorite game
Now you're movin' closer to me
And our eyes connected emotionally
I'm not lookin for a one night stand (stand)
Or a place for a broken heart to mend (mend)

I know everybody here wants to hold ya
I know what it's like 'cause I feel the same (same, same)
When you look in my eyes
There's a part of me that's still afraid

When you say you love me
Do you mean it?
Baby, when you hold me
Do you feel it?
I believe the magic in your eyes
I will wait until the end of time
To hear you say you love me
Like you mean it
Baby, when you hold me
Make me feel it
All I wanna do is make you mine
I've been hurt way too many times

They say if you wanna make God laugh
(yeah) All ya gotta do is tell him your plans
I know that the time is not right (right, right)
Didn't know that I would meet you tonight (night, night)
Not that I don't really like the attention
I feel like the only man in the room
Are you really sincere?
Is this just something that you do?

Now when you say you love me
Do you mean it?
Baby, when you hold me
Do you feel it?
I believe the magic in your eyes
I will wait until the end of time
To hear you say you love me
Like you mean it
Baby, when you hold me
Make me feel it
All I wanna do is make you mine
I've been hurt way too may times

Again, and again, and again
I've been hurt, my friend, till the end
You know I been high, I been low
I got no place left to go
Again, and again, and again
When will this search ever end?

When you say you love me
Do you mean it?
Baby, when you hold me
Do you feel it?
I believe the magic in your eyes
I will wait until the end of time
To hear you say you love me
Like you mean it
Baby, when you hold me
Make me feel it
All I wanna do is make you mine
I will wait until the end of time
Baby, say you love me
Come on, baby, say you love me
Oh
Ooooo
To hear you say you love me
Baby, say you love me
