Ann Reinking — I Am Going to Love (The Man You're Going to Be) lyrics

Lyrics

i am going to love the man you’re going to be
i can’t wait 'till i won’t have to close my eyes to see
how your face will loowhen care has creased your brow
little lines of character i don’t
see now
when your shoulders are bent because you’ve shoulder it all
when i’m looking down at you, you’ll never seem so tall
you’ll see me glowing, when i see you growing
slowly, surely and maturely grey
when you’re braving the sun
when you’re no longer afraid
standing in your shadow, i’ll be basking in your shade
waiting just a bit impatiently
for the man you’re going to be
what a statue you’ll make
your feet no longer of clay
i can’t wait to keep it shined and shoo the birds away
and to place a wreath in memory
of the man you’re going to be
