You Were and Are My Everything.
We met by the train station down this street
You had roses trailing at your feet
I held your gaze as you reached for my hand
You told me that you were the risk I should take
But I didn’t understand.
You told me to take it slow
All because you wanted to know which way to go
I stopped at your feet willing to comprehend
You held my heart and I took your hand
And you said:
‘You were and are my everything
You light me up and make the world
Fall into its knees
Oh baby please
Tell me you’ll be mine
Because you light up the sky
With just one smile
Baby, please stay for more than a little while’
We ran away into our own little world
Where you were my only and I was your girl
You swept me off my feet with just one smile
You gave me hope and told me that it’ll last forever
I said okay and we both ran together
We never looked back
We looked straight ahead
Listening to what our hearts really said
Not thinking about which way to go
I held your hand forgetting to take it slow
And you said:
‘You were and are my everything
You light me up and make the world
Fall into its knees
Oh baby please
Tell me you’ll be mine
Because you light up the sky
With just one smile
Baby, please stay for more than a little while’
Whoa, you told me to stay a while
You took my hand and then we smiled
We walked to the ends of the world and watched the sky
Saying we’d watch ourselves grow old and die
But you told me that we’ll live forever
As long as we were together
You took my hand and then you said
Damn right you said:
‘You were and are my everything
You light me up and make the world
Fall into its knees
Oh baby please
Tell me you’ll be mine
Because you light up the sky
With just one smile
Baby, please stay for more than a little while’
