Currier Square

Acoustic folk/folk-rock original singer-songwriters.

We are the remnants of a rock, turned folk turned folk-rock band (named "Open Road") that played together in the 70's and 80's. Today, Mark Porro and Vance Grazio continue writing and performing songs in the genre of those singer-songwriters who influenced us. We, along with recently added bassist Mike LaPierre, have formed this performing and recording trio known as "Currier Square" (named after the childhood neighborhood of Mark and Vance). We also collaborate with former bandmates and other musicians in these endeavors (Mark D. Hastings, Craig Whitson among others)

Lyrics

A Man Like You (Capo 3)
Music and Lyrics by Mark E. Porro 2019
Well its been a long, long time since youve been gone,
And I found my strength through you to carry on,
Not a day goes by that I dont think of you,
I know youre looking down, so I wanna make you proud,
And I wanna be a man like you.

You explained to me the things a man should know,
The good, the bad and all things in between,
But its the love you gave that helped to get me through,
Even though youre not around, I still wanna make you proud,
Cause I wanna be a man like you.

chorus 
You told me once that time is fleeting,
Before you know your days are all but gone,
Nothing in this world comes easy, 
Life builds walls and you need to knock them down,
One by one.
Repeat Chorus

When my time earth comes to an end,
Youll be standing by my side forever more,
No, Ill never be alone,
When the angels call me home,
And as certain as a sunny sky is blue,
I tried my best, I hope you know its true,
That I tried to be a man like you,
Yes, I tried to be a man like you.
