Carly Simon - You're The One Lyrics






Well I spent all night alone with you
And you weren't even there
Your eyes burned on me like the midnight sun
And somewhere in the night I knew
How much I really cared

'Cause you're the one
You're the one
For me you are the one

I tried to keep my distance afraid of striking out
But protect myself from life is all I've done
So I got to tell you now
Before another night goes by
That you're the one, you're the one
For me you are the one

And sometimes it hits you right away
And sometimes it takes awhile
Oh but now that you've crept up on me
There's nothing I can do to stay away from you though Lord
I've tried to keep it down
But resistance only moves it to the front
So I got to tell you now and worry what you'll say

'Cause you're the one
You're the one
For me you are the one

  1. D.... ....

    Best opening line ever.

  2. M.... T....

    An elegant, heart-felt proclamation of love. Ms. Simon has written a song that captures the moment when one recognizes they have found "the one". That intimate moment of private reflection when the thought of someone brings you to the realization that, yes, you have found "the one".

    This song is simply exquisite. The soulful solo by Hamish Stuart, adds to the haunting beauty of the song. In addition, his solo communicates a longing, a pleading and perhaps a helpless surrender of one's self to love.

    You creeped up on me.
