Song Description
This track was inspired by the wonderful old jazz standard 'My One and Only Love' and is my attempt to pay homage to the traditional 32-bar jazz ballad form. I have always believed that the best songs are inspired by true stories and real situations, and for me the story of this song is quite true. 'You're the One for Me' practically wrote itself; it has always sounded somehow 'familiar' to me. I hope I haven't unintentionally borrowed someone else's song...I THINK I wrote it!

Lyrics
You're the One for Me
you're the one for me
maybe because you own the only key
that will open wide my heart
to all the gifts you are
a lover like no other I will ever know
and
I'm the one for you
nobody else could get you like I do
your worst of times, your best
were lost on all the rest
who never dared believe you as you are
out from a smoky past I wished for you
and like a lucky star you appeared
and over the arc of time my wish came true
love is now and here
for us, my dear...
yeah you're the one for me
deep in your timeless eyes my fate I see
and I shall keep this flame
e'er burning in your name, 'cause
you're the one for me
out of a lonely past I wished for you
there like a lucky star you appeared
and over the arc of time my wish came true
love is now, it's here
for us, my dear...
you're the one for me
of all the goddesses through history
not one of them comes close
to you, my radiant rose
yes you're the one
the only one
you're the one
for me...
