Lyrics
You Are the One
By Ken McGorry
V.
There you are, with your smile
Pretty as a picture, all ready for life
In this world. You know I'll
Hold you closely, baby, and watch over you
Everywhere that you go on your journey
Because... YOU
C I.
You. You are the one
You are the only one to make me feel this way
You are the one; you are the only one
It's make believe, you say
V
When I'm gone from your world
Will you miss me, baby, or laugh it away?
When your home, and alone
You can hear me, darling, my words won't decay
If you hold them deep down in your heart, girl. Because...
C II.
You. You are the one
You are the only one to make me feel this way
You are the one; you are the only one
It's make believe, you say
V 3
Even now, through a cloud
I can see you, baby, trying so hard
To be real and I'm allowed
To keep loving you, babe, and all that you do
To make love a part of every day now. Because... YOU
C III
Because...you. You are the one
You are the only one to make me feel this way
You are the one; you were the only one
It's make believe, you say
Doo doo doo doo...
