you and i

you and i, here together - how in heaven did i get lucky as a star,

when i was born to be alone?

you and i – all the world should start in wonder at how this miracle occurred

‘cause i was born to be alone

time has a cruel hand - it can whip a breeze to a storm

we’ve seen it for ourselves

and if anyone should ask me how we made it here as one

then i’d sing it to the world, and say

it’s not a fairytale or a magic carpet ride

no it’s just you and i

you and i, here together – how could anyone see this coming from afar

even if opposites attract?

you and i – everyone should start in wonder at how this miracle occurred

because they face us as a fact 

time has a cruel hand - it can whip a breeze to a storm

we’ve seen it for ourselves

and if anyone should ask me how we rode the storms we've seen

well i’d sing it to the world, and say

it's not a lucky charm, or an angel in the sky

no it’s just you and i

breezes blow softly then grow wild and frosty

that storm can hurl you like a ball

and if anyone should ask me how we made it here as one

then I’d sing it to the world, and say

it’s not a fairytale or a magic carpet ride

no it’s just you and i
