Big Man

(album: Portrait Of Donny - 1972)

I was a big man yesterday, but boy you ought to see me now
Well I talked big yesterday, but boy you ought to see me now

I bragged too long that your love was strong
There'd never be another guy
But you said more when you whispered your goodbye
Ooo, ooo....

I was a big man yesterday, but boy you ought to see me now
I said that I was through with you
That I didn't need you anyhow
I said I didn't need you then, but boy you ought to see me now

Those bragging words that you were mine
That there was no doubt
Sounds empty now since half my life walked out
Ooo ooo...

Half my life left me yesterday, and boy you ought to see me now
If you would just forgive me, dear
I'd never break another vow
I broke so many yesterday, and boy you ought to see me now

I couldn't see it yesterday, but now I know it's true
The only thing that made me big was you

I was a big man yesterday, boy you ought to see me now
If you would only see me now
If you would only see me now
If you could only see me now
If you could only see me now...
