Lyrics

You Are The One
James Hammel

Why did I let that taxi drive you away?
I could have stepped right out in front of it -- stopped it cold
You could have told that driver to turn around
You could have come on back to me

A lady walks the Paris streets alone and she thinks
A teardrop leaves her face and lands in her hand
So much ahead of her, so much gone by
And as she wipes away the tear she says

If we can’t have love then a part of us just dies
Why must she have his love?
He’s the only one that she sees
He’s the only one in her dreams
When will she see him again?

You are the one who took that step toward me
You are the one that lights the stars in my nights
You are the one who took my blues away
You are the one

A man stares out the window of a fast moving train
A teardrop leaves his face and lands in his hand
So much ahead of him and a lifetime gone by
And as he wipes away his tear he says

If we can’t have love then a part of us just dies
Why must I have her love?
She’s the only one that I see
She’s the only one in my dreams
When will I see her again?

You are the one who took that step toward me
You are the one who lights the stars in my nights
You are the one who took my blues away
You are the one

We will be together again one day
Whether in this world or the next, who’s to say
We’ll savor each minute of every single day
Cause you are the one, you are the one.
You are the one
