Benny Hester Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I want to write you a love song
To tell you honestly how I feel
It's been inside me for so long
So put your arm around me
For these things I know are real

I'll be your melody man
And I want you to see
That you bring out the love song in me
I'm the melody man
I'm the melody man

I hope that this will sound like a letter
For once, I'd like to tell you what I need to say
'Cause I know that things have turned out much better
Since we've walked this road together
And I promised you that day

I'd be your melody man
And I want you to see
That you bring out the love song in me
I'm the melody man
I'm the melody man
I'm your melody man and I love you
I'm your melody man

Help me now, I want to write down
Lord, the things that we have share
In my words, the truth is there 'cause of you

Yes, I'm your melody man
And I want you to see
That you bring out the love song
You bring out the love song in me
I'm the melody man
I'm the melody man
I'm your melody man and I love you
I'm your melody man
And I'll always stay your melody man
I'm your melody man
I'm your melody man and I like it that way




I'm your melody man
Yes, I am
