Baby, standin' here with you
With your arms around my shoulders
We're dancin' with the moon
And baby, it feels just like a dream
When I whisper that I love you
And you say it back to me
I got you for the rest of my days
In the sun on Sunday mornin' or the pourin' rain
I got you for the rest of my life
And if all else goes wrong, baby, I'll be alright
'Cause I got you
(You, you and only you, you and only you)
I got you
(You, you and only you, you and only you)
Baby, lookin' in your eyes
It's like we're in slow motion
Just you and me tonight
And baby, you lean in for a kiss
And I know, and I know, and I know
That it don't get better than this
'Cause I got you for the rest of my days
In the sun on Sunday mornin' or the pourin' rain
I got you for the rest of my life
And if all else goes wrong, baby, I'll be alright
'Cause I got you
(You, you and only you, you and only you)
I got you

DAN + SHAY (2021) – YOU (Traducción en español)
Baby, standin' here with you
Cariño, estoy aquí contigo
With your arms around my shoulders
Con tus brazos rodeando mis hombros
We're dancin' with the moon
Estamos bailando con la luna
And baby, it feels just like a dream
Y cariño, parece un sueño
When I whisper that I love you
Cuando susurro que te amo
And you say it back to me
Y tú a su vez me lo dices a mí
I got you, ooh, ooh
Te tengo, ooh, ooh
For the rest of my days
Para el resto de mis días
In the sun of Sunday morning
Bajo el sol del domingo por la mañana
Or the pouring rain
O la lluvia torrencial
I got you, ooh, ooh
Te tengo, ooh, ooh
For the rest of my days
Para el resto de mis días
And if all else goes wrong, baby
Y si todo lo demás va mal, cariño
I'll be alright
Estaré bien

Baby, lookin' in your eyes
Cariño, mirándote a los ojos
It's like we're in slow motion, just you and me tonight
Es como si estuviésemos a cámara lenta, solo tú y yo esta noche
And baby, you lean in for a kiss
Y cariño, te inclinas para un beso
And I know, and I know, and I know that it don't better than this
Y sé, y sé, y sé que no hay nada mejor que esto
'Cause I got you, ooh, ooh
Porque te tengo, ooh, ooh
For the rest of my days
Para el resto de mis días
In the sun of Sunday morning
Bajo el sol del domingo por la mañana
Or the pouring rain
O la lluvia torrencial

The first time I heard this song was at 5:30 am one morning. I spent the rest of the day thinking of the man in my life and how I had fallen in love with him. I couldn't wait to tell him. Thank you Dan and Shay for this song that opened my heart to love again. ❤

This song played in the car last night on the way home from my son's and daughter's soccer games. Then my 4 year old son says, "Mommy, everything he's saying is from me to you!" cue waterworks I'm going to hang on to that for a long time! ❤

This is DEFINITELY one of my favorites on the album. Your songs never get old. My wife and I went to one of your early concerts years ago back in Florida at a little fair! It was January 28, 2015 and it was definitely something we will never forget. We've been with you from the start! Still got the videos to prove it! Two years later, we got married to "From The Ground Up" and you are still one of our favorite artists to this day. Don't ever stop making music! You're an inspiration. Hoping to be able to make it back to another concert soon :-)
