I’ll Be – Edwin Mc Cain
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and
                                             steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong
                                             together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I’ll be captivated,
I’ll hang from your lips,
Instead
                                             of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.
[Chorus:]
I’ll be your crying shoulder,
I’ll be
                                             love’s suicide
I’ll be better when I’m older,
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life.
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You’re
                                             my survival, you’re my living proof.
My love is alive — not dead.
Tell me that we belong together.
Dress
                                             it up with the trappings of love.
I’ll be captivated,
I’ll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows
                                             of heartache that hang from above
[Chorus]
And I’ve dropped out, I’ve burned up, I’ve fought
                                             my way back from the dead.
I’ve tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said
[Chorus:]
I’ll be your crying shoulder,
I’ll be
                                             love’s suicide
I’ll be better when I’m older,
I’ll be the greatest fan of your…
I’ll
                                             be your crying shoulder,
I’ll be love’s suicide
I’ll be better when I’m older,
I’ll
                                             be the greatest fan of your life.
The greatest fan of your life.
…greatest fan of your life.
