Allow Me To Dream

A man like me is not supposed to cry, so I put on a mask, I stand still watching as the world goes by
allow me a moment to dream
allow me to love for a time
just be there and i will smile
please allow me to dream awhile
a man like me is not supposed to cry
I wear a mask, the tears to hide
to scared for love, to try
I stand still as in a blur life runs by
Allow me a hand
a heart
a love to hold
fear, alone I stand masked in the cold
years come
years go
hidden tears
lonely years
no hand, no heart, no love to hold tight
in the golden years i will only ask why
but for now allow me to dream tonight...
