Lyrics
The Power of Us
(Words & Music by Lori Kelley, ©)
I?m looking around me in this tiny café.
A couple is there in the corner,
Each looking the other way.
What could they be thinking?
They have nothing to say.
He starts reading the paper.
She watches some children play.
Chorus:
That?s when I remember
Just how lucky I am.
I reach across the table,
And gently squeeze your hand.
She sees me touch you.
She sees the look in our eyes.
And she remembers how it was.
* Then she reaches for him.
That?s when I realize
The power, the power of us.
We?ve been together for more than fifteen years.
We?ve gained a few pounds.
We?ve shed a couple of tears.
He puts down his paper, and gives her a smile.
She leans over to kiss him.
He says, ?It?s been a while.?
Chorus
Bridge
It?s easy to trust the power of us.
When I see how others respond to the touch.
