One of Them Is Me
Andrew Gold Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m a robin sitting in a tree
Singing for you, darling, endlessly
Inspiration's got a hold on me
And I don′t want to be set free

It's the smile on your face
It's your style and your grace
And that′s why, that′s why I love you

You're a party with the lights down low
You′re my Friday night movie show
Love me tender on the radio
Just hold me tight and don't let go

It′s the smile on your face
It's your style and your grace
And that′s why, that's why I love you

People fall in love and all too soon it fades away
But sweet darling we won't fade
I will travel with you on down the line

It′s the smile on your face
It′s your stayle and your grace
And that's why, that′s why I love you

It's the smile on your face
It′s your style and your grace
And that's why, that′s why I love you

It's the smile on your face




It's your style and your grace
And that′s why, that′s why I love you

His first four albums are filled with absolutely flawless compositions. Most songwriters would give anything to write just ONE song like Andrew Gold.

Snoo Lee
