Just You and I

Just you and I,… Sharing our love together.
And I know in time, we’ll build the dreams we treasure.
We’ll be all right, just you and I.

And I remember our first embrace,
That smile that was on your face,
The promises that we made.
And now your love is my reward,
And I love you even more than I ever did before.

Just you and I… We can entrust each other.
With you in my life, there’ll never be another.
We’ll be all right, just you and I.

We made it….You and I.
