You
Carpenters · A Kind Of Hush [2009]
"You are the one who makes me happy,
When everything else turns to grey
Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings
and sends me out into the day
You are the crowd that sits quiet listenin' to me
and all the mad sense I make
You are one of the few things worth remembering
and since it's all true how could anyone mean more to me than you.
Sorry if sometimes I look passed you
there's no one beyond your eyes
inside my head the wheels are turning
and sometimes I'm not so wise
You are my heart and my soul my inspiration
just like the old love song goes
You are one of the few things worth remembering
and since it's all true how could anyone mean more to me than you."
