Shane Filan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't believe the view
Lying there next to me
It always feels brand new
Busy streets packed out bars
Taxi cabs and cars
Life is fast probably last still together
What we have is beautiful
I'd lose it all
'Cause this world would be
Empty without you
Scares me that this life would mean
Nothing without you
Someday we'll have to say goodbye
I need to let you know that I
Will never try to fill the space between
It'll only ever be
You and me
Candle light a glass of wine
A dinner made for two
All the noise of the city
Are drowned out for you
Then we kiss as we dance
I hope this feeling lasts forever
Life is fast, raise a glass, we're still together
And you're still so beautiful
If I lost you then
I'd lose it all
'Cause this world would be
Empty without you
Scares me that this life would mean
Nothing without you
Someday we'll have to say goodbye
I need to let you know that I
Will never try to fill the space between
It'll only ever be
You and me
And you're still so beautiful
Follows you there
At lose it all
'Cause this world would be
Empty without you
Scares me that this life would mean
Nothing without you
Oh someday we'll have to say goodbye
I need to let you know that I
Will never try to fill the space between
It'll only ever be
You and me
The lyrics of the song "You and Me" by Shane Filan, is a sweet declaration of love and appreciation for his partner. In the first verse, the singer expresses his amazement towards his partner every day, stating that being beside them always feels like a new experience. He then paints a picture of the world around them, filled with the busyness of life, but declares that they are together and what they have is beautiful. The lyrics in the chorus are an honest truth from the singer's heart, as he admits that life would mean nothing without his partner, fearing the emptiness he would feel without them. Knowing that one day they will have to say goodbye, he assures his partner that he would never try to fill the space between them and that it will only ever be "you and me."
The second verse of the song continues on the same tone, with the singer describing a romantic evening at home with his partner, as they enjoy each other's company in the noisy city. He talks about how he hopes the feelings between them last forever, and raise a glass to their togetherness. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of his partner to him, and how he would never want to lose them. The song is a beautiful tribute to love and a reminder of what is truly important in life.

Everyday I look at you
I admire you every day
And I can't believe the view
I can't believe how lucky I am to have you in my life
Lying there next to me
Being next to you makes me feel comfortable and at peace
It always feels brand new
Being with you always feels refreshing and exciting
Busy streets packed out bars
The world is always noisy and chaotic
Taxi cabs and cars
Everyday life is full of hustle and bustle
Life is fast probably last still together
Life is short, but we're still together despite the challenges
What we have is beautiful
Our relationship is special and precious
If I lost you then
The thought of losing you scares me
I'd lose it all
Losing you would be devastating to me
'Cause this world would be
I can't imagine a world without you
Empty without you
Life would feel empty and meaningless without you
Scares me that this life would mean
The idea of living without you scares me
Nothing without you
Without you, life would be insignificant
Someday we'll have to say goodbye
One day we'll have to part ways
I need to let you know that I
I want to express my feelings for you
Will never try to fill the space between
I don't want to replace you with anyone else
It'll only ever be
Our relationship will always be
You and me
Just you and I forever
Candle light a glass of wine
Our night is romantic and intimate
A dinner made for two
We're enjoying each other's company over dinner
All the noise of the city
We're tuning out the chaos of the outside world
Are drowned out for you
You're the only thing that matters to me right now
Then we kiss as we dance
Our love is expressed through our movements
I hope this feeling lasts forever
I hope our love for each other never fades
And you're still so beautiful
You're still as attractive to me as the day I met you
Follows you there
I'm always thinking about you even when you're not with me
At lose it all
I would give up everything for you
Oh someday we'll have to say goodbye
We'll eventually have to part ways
I need to let you know that I
I want to express my love for you
Will never try to fill the space between
I don't want to replace you with anyone else
It'll only ever be
Our relationship will always be
You and me
Just you and me forever

"Life would mean nothing without you!"
That's crazy in love.
Lilianna
You know!
Sometimes, I wish this is the story of my life, which would turn out with a happy wedding!
I would like to be everywhere that my husband would be at!
We would shine & dine together every day!
Whether its the two of us going to hang out all over town, or just hanging in at home.
I'm still writing this opera of life being inlove!
Thank you Shane for singing such a lovely song!

I love that smile on your face, Mr. Filan. Its elegantly & so manly beautiful!

When I hear this song, I wanna to sing:
"Don't be scare! You & I have already been there..."
Its true. This song express the cute side of a man whos in love. Is it like a springbreak fling or something? Cause there is a line said: "someday we will have to say goodbye."
Its cute.
Cheers!

I love you Shane Filan forever πππβ€
