It's You
Dionne Warwick & Stevie Wonder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look inside my crystal ball of desire
And know why rapid beats my heart
I see the spark, I feel the flame of the fire
Letting me know love wants to start
No more playing around
No more waiting around for the special one to come
No more wearing a frown
No more tears coming down 'cause I know what I want
And I want what I know

Is you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you

I look behind and what I sight is the mire
So very lonely was my heart
I look ahead I hear the sound of the choir
Singing that love will never part
No more hearing the sound of the rain coming down
No more I can't see the sun, whoa-oh-oh
No more hurting for fun 'cause the moment has come
When I know what I want
And I want what I know

Is you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
'Cause baby

It's you, oh
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you, it's you, and you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
'Cause, baby

@mapg4251

É você



Eu olho dentro da minha bola de cristal do desejo

E sei porque meu coração bate rápido

Eu vejo o brilho, eu sinto a chama do fogo

Deixando-me saber que o amor quer começar

Chega de flertar

Chega de esperar pela pessoa especial chegar

Chega de estar com uma cara carrancuda

Chega de lágrimas caindo porque eu sei o que eu quero

E eu quero o que eu conheço



É você

Ninguém tem que me dizer isso

É você é você, você é o anjo mandado do céu

É você, ninguém tem que me dizer isso

É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu para mim

(eu para você e você para mim)

Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada

Se não tivesse esperado, minha vida estaria desfeita

Se eu não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada

Se eu não tivesse esperado por você



Eu olho para trás e o que eu vejo é a lama

Muito solitário estava meu coração

Eu olho para frente e ouço o som do coro

Cantando que o amor nunca vai separar

Chega de ouvir o som da chuva caindo

Chega de não poder ver o sol

Chega de causar dor por brincadeira pois o momento chegou

Quando eu sei o que eu quero

E eu quero o que eu conheço



É você

Ninguém tem que me dizer isso

É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu

É você, ninguém tem que me dizer isso

É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu para mim

(eu para você e você para mim)

Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada

Se não tivesse esperado, minha vida estaria desfeita

Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada

Se eu não tivesse esperado por você

Porque baby



É você

Ninguém tem que me dizer isso

É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu

É você, ninguém tem que me dizer isso

É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu para mim

(eu para você e você para mim)

Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada

Se não tivesse esperado, minha vida estaria desfeita

Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada

Se eu não tivesse esperado por você

Porque baby



É você

Ninguém tem que me dizer isso

É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu

É você, ninguém tem que me dizer isso

É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu para mim

(eu para você e você para mim)

Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada

Se não tivesse esperado, minha vida estaria desfeita

Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada

Se eu não tivesse esperado por você

Porque baby é você

Duas vozes, uma emoção e mensagem.
Sensibilidade, talento, dedicação e, de certo uma história.
Música e poesia, sentimento e harmonia.
Isso é Música, aqui ou em qualquer lugar desse planeta.

@marcosmacedo7682

A harmonização vocal dos dois é SURREAL. Eu ainda acredito na música.

@michaelstraughn6625

Stevie & Dionne have very compatible voices...They work well together...as proven again in this jam ♡
