You & I
Avant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the lovers around the world
I wanna talk about the one I love (Talk about the one I love)
I know alot of times we forget
How they take good care of you
But tonight
I just wanna express the way I feel
Funny how things have changed in my life now
Whether near or far I wanna be where you are
And, you're like a rose that blooms in my garden
Innocent and sweet, my love you are
But one thing I know girl
Lovin' lovin' oohh, lovin' lovin' you

And, I will feel this way till the end of time (Ooh)
Even though you've heard this a thousands times it's the truth
