I Don't Claim to Understand , All That Makes A Man a Man

I don't claim to understand, all that makes a man a man
But loving you came easy
I don't claim to understand, all that makes a man a man
But loving you came easy
I had to love you from the first day I met you
I had to love you from the first day I met you

In the wisdom of your words, I heard my father
In your zest for life, I saw my brother
In your acceptance of my flaws, I recalled my mother
I had to love you, you made my dreams come true
I had to love you, you made my dreams come true

I had to love you, you brought sunshine to my life
I see it in our children's eyes
In their youthful confidence, I see your smile
I see your stance
In their youthful confidence, I see your love
I feel your strength


I had to love you, you made my dreams come true
I had to love you, you filled my home with pride
I had to love you, you filled my heart with pride

We had an ordinary life
A soldier, a soldier's bride
A soldier's life
And the years we've been  apart
With an ache in my heart
I'd let you go...I'd let you go
I'd let you go for love honor and pride

Other soldier's wives still know
The pain of letting go

They let them go for love, country and pride
This I know, this I know...
I've been a soldier's wife

I don't claim to understand
All that makes a man a man
But loving you came easy
I had to love you
From the day I first met you
I had to love you
You made my dreams come true
I had to love you...
You made my dreams come true
