Power of Two
Michael Feinstein Lyrics

Now the parking lot is empty
The previous activity or gathering has ended

Everyone's gone someplace
All the people have dispersed to different locations

I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed
I have prepared for our journey by packing the trunk

A cooler and a 2 day suitcase
I have packed essential items for a short trip

'Cause there's a place we like to drive
We have a favorite destination to visit by car

Way out in the country
It is located far from urban areas, in a rural setting

And five miles out of the city limit we're singing
As we escape the city, we express our joy through singing

And your hand's upon my knee
You show affection by touching my knee

So we're okay, we're fine
We reassure each other that everything is alright

Baby, I'm here to stop your crying
I am present to comfort you and prevent your tears

Chase all the ghosts from your head
I will help you overcome your haunting thoughts and fears

I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
I possess the strength to conquer the fears within you

Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
I am wise enough to thwart the deceptive games targeting your heart

We'll look at them together then we'll take them apart
We will analyze these tricks collaboratively and dismantle their impact

Adding up the total of a love that's true
Calculating the genuine and complete value of our love

Multiply life by the power of two
Enhancing and amplifying life's experiences through our unity

You know the things that I am afraid of
You are aware of my fears and vulnerabilities

I'm not afraid to tell
I am unafraid to openly share my fears with you

And if we ever leave a legacy
In the event we leave a lasting impact or impression

It's that we loved each other well
Our significant legacy will be the depth and quality of our love

Because I've seen the shadows of so many people
Having witnessed the hardships and struggles of numerous individuals

Still trying on the treasures of youth
Continuously chasing after the fleeting pleasures of youth

But a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash
The path pursued with extravagant speed eventually leads to a disastrous outcome

And I'm glad we got off to tell you the truth
I am relieved that we chose a different path, to be honest

'Cause we're okay, we're fine
We reassure each other once again that everything is alright

Baby, I'm here to stop your crying
My presence is intended to bring solace and halt your tears

Chase all the ghosts from your head
Together, we will eliminate the haunting memories from your mind

I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
I possess the strength to conquer the inner fears that trouble you

I'm smarter than the tricks played on your heart
I possess the intelligence to outsmart the cunning deceptions affecting your heart

Look at them together then we'll take them apart
We will analyze and dismantle these tricks collaboratively

Adding up the total of a love that's true
Calculating and summing the complete value of our genuine love

Multiply life by the power of two
Expanding and enriching life's journey through our collective strength

All the shiny little trinkets of temptation
Referring to the various enticing but ultimately superficial temptations

Something new instead of something old
Being lured by novelty rather than appreciating the value of what is familiar

All you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
To truly understand, you simply need to dig deeper

And it's fools gold, fools gold, fools gold
What may seem valuable and precious is actually worthless and deceptive

Now we're talking about a difficult thing
We are addressing a challenging and sensitive topic

Your eyes are getting wet
Tears are welling up in your eyes

But I took us for better and I took us for worse
I committed to stand by you in good times and bad

Don't you ever forget it
I want to emphasize the permanent nature of this commitment

Now the steel bars between me and a promise
The barriers obstructing a pledge or vow

Suddenly bend with ease
These obstacles bend effortlessly and give way

The closer I'm bound in love to you
As our love strengthens and tightens its hold

The closer I am to free
I experience a sense of liberation and freedom

So we're okay, we're fine
Reassuring each other once more that we are doing well

Baby, I'm here to stop your crying
I am present to bring you comfort and prevent your tears

Chase all the ghosts from your head
Together, we will eliminate the haunting thoughts from your mind

I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
I possess the strength to conquer the inner fears that trouble you

I'm smarter than the tricks played on your heart
I possess the intelligence to outsmart the deceitful games targeting your heart

Look at them together then we'll take them apart
By analyzing them collaboratively, we will dismantle their effects

Adding up the total of a love that's true
Calculating and summing the complete value of our genuine love

Multiply life by the power of two
Expanding and multiplying life's experiences through our unity
