Their own version, of the Dionne Warwick standard 'Walk On By', was highly popular on the U.K. Soul Scene.
D-Train's biggest U.S. hit was the BilIboard R & B Top 5 single 'Something's On Your Mind' in 1983. The group went their seperate ways in 1985 with James Williams pursuing a solo career. His three notable hits were 'Misunderstanding' (number 10 in 1986), 'Oh, How I Love You (Girl)' (number 22 in 1987), and 'In Your Eyes' (number 11 in 1988, taken from the album of the same name).
You Are the One For Me
D Train Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your love by my side the world will be mine
You're the one for me
With this true love I found
Takes my feet up off the ground to fly away
With this true love my dear
Takes away my every fear, don't go away
You just don't know what you did to me
But I'm not the same (but I'm not the same)
Since you gave me love and shelter from the rain
You just don't know how you make me feel
Your sweet lovin' girl, is so unreal
I've got love, love desire
Since your lovin' my soul's on fire
Bustin' up on a cloud, shout out loud
You're the one for me
With your love by my side
The world will be mine
You're the one for me
Bustin' up on a cloud, shout out loud
You're the one for me
With your love by my side
The world will be mine
You're the one for me
I'm ridin' on a cloud
Got to shout it out loud, you're my all
Baby, hold on tight
For the rest of my life, don't let me fall
You just don't know what you did to me
But I'm not the same (I'm not the same)
Since you gave me love shelter from the rain
You just don't know how you make me feel
Your sweet lovin' girl, is so unreal
I've got love, love desire
From your lovin' my soul's on fire
With the love I have inside of me
We can turn this world around
We can live through all eternity
And we'll never touch the ground
We'll take a chance to ride upon a star
To a place that's far away
The light of love will shine on us
Forever and a day
With the love I have inside of me
We can turn this world around
We can live through all eternity
And we'll never touch the ground
We'll take a chance to ride upon a star
To a place that's far away
The light of love will shine on us
Forever and a day
With the love I have inside of me
We can turn this world around
We can live through all eternity
And we'll never touch the ground
We'll take a chance to ride upon a star
To a place that's far away
The light of love will shine on us
Forever and a day
You're the one for me, yeah
Oh oh oh
You're the one for me
Bustin' up on a cloud, shout out loud
You're the one for me
With your love by my side
The world will be mine
You're the one for me
Bustin' up on a cloud, shout out loud
You're the one for me
With your love by my side
The world will be mine
You're the one for me
