To Know the Man

When the lights went down, my eyes fell.
I watched you as you let go of my hand.
I stood out in the ocean,
Watching as your ship rolled out to sea...
I'm sad, so sad to see you go,
But I'm glad...

I'm glad I got to know the man...
(Got to know the man, got to know the man...)
Showed me who I really am...
(Showed me who I am, showed me who I am...)
I know I took for granted all the time that we had shared,
But in the end, I hope you knew,
Knew how much I cared.
I hope you do...

It's hard to pack up all the memories,
And put them on a shelf back in my mind, oh...
I know that I was not the only one, but,
I was the only one you treated like a son,
And I really hope you knew,
I hope you knew...
I'm glad I got to know the man...
(Got to know the man, got to know the man...)
Showed me who I really am...
(Showed me who I am, showed me who I am...)
I know I took for granted all the time that we had shared,
(Took for granted all the time...)
But in the end I know you knew,
Knew how much I cared.
(Knew how much I cared.)
In the end, I hope you knew,
Hope you knew...
I'm glad I got to know the man.
Showed me who I am...
I'm glad I got to know the man.
