Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of you, and I
And you hear the story you and I
Just you, and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
I remember when I made you love
What I felt inside
That this heart of mine was beating strong
And I felt even shy
Oh whoa, baby you gotta believe me
When you asked my name
Oh I started shaking 'cause I knew
I was in love with you
This is the story of you and I
Of you, and I
And you hear the story you and I
Just you, and I
This is the story of you and I
Of you, and I
And you hear the story you and I
Just you, and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
When you had to go so far away
I've been missing you
You don't know how many nights I've prayed
Tears I've been crying too
Oh whoa, baby you gotta believe me
When you asked my name
And now that you are back home again
This is of joy I cry
This is the story of you and I
Of you, and I
And you hear the story you and I
Just you, and I
This is the story of you and I
Believe me
And you hear the story you and I
Believe me
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
Of you, and I
And you hear the story you and I
Just you, and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
This is the story of you and I
