YOU ARE WHAT I AM
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1972


You make the time stand still
You do it now and you always will
You take me as I am
You make me feel like a brand new man.

Every time that I fall down
I never get stuck
You got the combination gal
To get me right back up.

'Cause you are what I am
I'm loving you forever if I can.

(bridge)

Think about the times we've had
We never been blue
You got the combination gal
To keep me straight and true.

'Cause you are what I am
I'm loving you forever if I can.

You make the time stand still
You do it now and you always will
You take me as I am
You make me feel like a brand man.

(bridge)

I know I'm lucky too
Without two or three, just me and you.

'Cause you are what I am
I'm loving you forever if I can.
