You got to walk a little slower when you're with her

Take the time to be tender, that's the plan

You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces

Only then can you hold her in your hand



You got to live for every moment that she gives you

Make the one in a million understand

You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces

Only then can you hold her in your hand



Now too many faces have come down between us

And I was the fool to be

And I can't deny you the wide open spaces

As long as she stops loving me



You got to stand a little closer when you hold her

Make her feel like a woman , understand

You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces

Only then can you hold her in your hand
