You and I
Yoko Ono Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its you and i, feeling good,
Watching the sky turn to sunrise pink.
The stars are fading, saying good night,
Throwing us a big fat wink.

Its you and i, feeling good,
This morning were up so early and bright.
The clouds are smiling, saying good night,
We know its gonna be right.

What are we doing, you and i?
Are we waiting for the pie to fall from the sky?
Maybe we should take five and go for a ride,
See what the world is up to, you and i?

I know youre still thinking of that empty room behind,
One day well air it and fill it with sunshine.
Now you know its just you and I
And thats no reason to cry.
So hope, skip and run, lets have some fun,
You and i, (you and I) you and i. (you and I)

You just turned nine, and were both fine,
You and, you and i.

(you and i, you and i, you and I)
(you and i, you and i, you and I)
(you and i, you and i, you and I)




(you and i, you and i, you and I)
(you and i, you and i, you and I)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yoko Ono's song "You and I" convey a sense of contentment and joy in the simple pleasures of life. The song celebrates the beauty of the natural world, as the singers watch the sunrise and bid farewell to the stars. This sense of wonder is amplified by the repeated refrain "you and I, feeling good," a reminder that the joy of the world is multiplied when shared with a loved one.


As the song progresses, the sense of joy is combined with a call to action. The singers ask themselves what they are doing and whether they should "take five and go for a ride" to explore the world around them. This line suggests that while there is beauty and contentment at home, there is also a sense of adventure waiting if we are willing to go out and find it.


The final lines of the song are particularly poignant. The singers acknowledge that there is an empty room behind them that needs to be filled with sunshine. This may be a metaphor for a relationship that needs to be nurtured or for personal growth that has yet to be achieved. However, the singers take comfort in the fact that they are together and that they have each other to rely on. By closing on the line "you and I, (you and I) you and i," the song emphasizes that sense of intimacy and connection.


Overall, the lyrics of "You and I" are simple yet profound. By weaving together themes of nature, adventure, and companionship, the song creates a memorable and uplifting image of what it means to be alive.
