You And I (Burns/Paterson/Alexander)

Close this window

one picture paints a thousand words
but none shall pass my lips
you seal them with your kiss my love
and with your fingertips
one touch can help me to forget
or hide a thousand sorrows
and I can live with my regret
when you touch me there's no tomorrow
you and I
we're the same
we're to blame
and now we can change
you and I 
we're the same
and we have to run
run away

so cross my heart and hope to die
and pray it isn't so
you told me that you loved me then
and I thought I need to know
we thought that we could save it all
like some precious precious wine
but truth pours out with wine my love
so until the end of time
you and i
we're the same
we're to blame
and now we can change
you and I 
we're the same
and we have to run
run away

and love can cover many things
and love can make a lie
and love can make a poor man king
or make a poor man cry

you and I
we're the same
we're to blame
and now we can change
you and I 
we're the same
and we have to run
run away

you and I
we're the same
you and I
we're to blame

he who dares to cross the thorn
forever praise the rose
