“The Kind of Man I Am” reflects an attempt to describe not only what the experience of being a “romantic” person is like but also how the we view the world. Google gives some great summaries of what the term romantic means.
I have focused in this CD on romantic love, but the romantic person perceives and experiences the entire world in a particular way. It is not only about desire, but also about seeing the world as exquisitely precious, retaining a sense of childlike wonder, and maintaining a profound gratitude and appreciation for each days blessings.
As a poet, it is necessary for me to surrender to the siren call of romance. As a man it envelopes me in a world of extreme highs and lows suffuse with spiritual meaning. As a lover, it gives rise to both a sense of the sacred and a connection to ancient passions.
If I were to write a letter to you
You know its going to be a love letter
And if I were to write a song for you
Its going to be a love song
Its not according to any plan
Its just the kind of man I am
Not according to any plan
But just the kind of man I am
I can’t be but enchanted
By your beauty and your grace
And your sharing of your precious life with me
Is something no one can replace
When I look into your eyes
And feel you close to me
That’s when I realize
Just what you mean to me
So if I’m talking to you babe
I’ll be telling you that I love you
And if I may be touching you girl
You know I’m making love to you
You know I’m making sweet love to you
Its not according to any plan
Its just the kind of man I am
Not according to any plan
But just the kind of man I am
