I have a portrait of my man Two strong arms, two gentle hands And a heart that stays a mystery to me And the portrait in my head Is not a stranger to my bed Like the real man that I love has come to be The man I long to see is like a shadow in my dreams And the portrait is who keeps me company The man I want to hold would never let our love grow cold But the real man hides his love away from me I have a portrait in my mind Of two hearts that beat in time And the rhythm that is not so hard to feel But a picture of a dream Is never what it seems And the steps we take dont make picture real The man I thought I knew is a vision veil removed Keeps me wondering how its gonna be The man I want to touch doesnt comfort me as much As his picture that I hold so close to me I thought I knew him Now I see right through him You might also likeI have a portrait of my man Too little time to understand A heart that stays a mystery to me And the picture in my heart Is not a stranger in the dark And not afraid to be the man he could be
