This Man's a child

this man is old

sometimes he's mild

sometimes he's bold

This man I love sometimes in spite

of wishing he'd stick to his guns or

abandon the fight



But when he shines, oh when he shines

yes, when he shines, he shines so bright



Sometimes a tramp, sometimes a dude

He changes colors just like a chameleon

can't find the mood

He is a song that's not easy to write

He's the moon in the morning and the sun

out at night



But when he shines, when he shines oh when he shines

he shines so bright.



This man's a gentle man, this man is strong

this temperemental man plays me along



But when he shines, when he shines, oh when he shines

he shines so bright



yes when he shines, when he shines, oh when he shines

he shines so bright



but when he shines, oh when he shines, yes, when he shines, he shines so

bright.
