Lyrics

I have been saving up for this.
If you don't believe in anything, believe in you, believe in me.
Bright as the sun you've got me undone.

An idea is forming like air hardening.
An angel given like a gift, it's alright with me you can be my love.

What will everyone say? I don't care anyway.
If it's alright with you, you can be my love.
You and I are one. You and I are one.
You and I are one in a million, ooh.
