IT WAS YOU
椎名林檎と斎藤ネコカルテット Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You / you were the one
That I remember
It was you
And / I loved you true
And though you've gone away
In my heart I'll always be with
You / so you should know
Although it's over

It's still you
Here / here in my heart
You'll be a part of me
Part of me will always be with you...

No guarantees in life
Sometimes / love just / goes wrong
But that's ok, / either way it's worth it
Love's still / my favorite song
And in the end / if the angels ask me
To tell them what love is
I'll say it was you...

No guarantees in life
Sometimes / love just / goes wrong
But that's ok / either way it's worth it
Love's still / my favorite song
And in the end / if the angels ask me
To tell them what love is
I'll say it was you...

So you should know
Although it's over
It's still you
Here / here in my heart
You'll be a part of me
Part of me will always be with you...
And you should know
Although you've gone 'way
It's still you
Here / here in my heart

Is where you'll always be
Part of me will always be with you...
