Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
“You And Me”
I can hear the rain, it’s falling softly
As I watch him lying next to me
I can feel his heart, it’s beating softly
He just loved me
So tenderly
But it should be you and meWhen he touches me, I feel your fingers
And each time we kiss, I see your face
When he locks the door behind us
Then he thinks the world can’t find us
But he can’t see, no he can’t see
That it should be you and meSo I’ll just close my eyes and dream about you
‘Cause every time I dream, you’re always there
Then you’ll lock the door behind us
And in my dreams the world can’t find us
And it will be, so real to me
It’s finally you and me
