Tonight, I am the hero that you dream
Tonight, I am the angel that you see
Tonight, we shine with love so new
But time alone will tell us what is true

'Cause time can bring an angel down to earth
And time stands every hero 'gainst the world
In time all lovers dreams touch down
And love must live much closer to the ground

When I'm just a man, when I'm just a woman
Will you love me then, will you love me?
When love is only human

'Cause love can give a man the strength to fight
And love can make a woman's burdens light
And love in time forgives us all
When heroes fail oh when the angels fall

Oh, when we know each other through and through
With all out imperfections
If we fall short of heaven, I'll still love you
I'll love you

When I'm just a man, when I'm just a woman
I will, you, then, oh, somewhere under the heavens
When I'm just a man, oh, when I'm just a woman
I will, you, then, yes I'll you, when love is only human
