The Man You Are In Me

Janis Ian

* Also recorded by Vicki Leandros

I love the light
I love the changing season
I love without much thought to reason
I'd give it all if I could make you see
I love the man that you were meant to be
I love the man you are in me

I love the man who waits beside you
I love the man who hides behind you
I love the shadow
though it disappears
I love its afterglow
reflected through the tears
I love the shadow in my tears

Mmm, I love the dreams you can't remember
Mmm, lost in the early waking hours
I love the season of forever

I'll live without the light of laughter
I'll live without an ever after
I'd give it all if I could make you see
I love the man that you were meant to be
I love the man you are in me
