Only You, Only Me (song #105)

Only You, Only Me 

This is no pedestal I put you up on

You inhabit the space above me

This is no remembrance of love's battles lost and won

You chase all the demons from me

And in that fragile moment

Just between before and new

The space between us melts away

As I am bound with (to?) you

Something in the way you smile at me

Lifts me up - let's me believe

Something in the light that shines in your eyes

Picks me up - and I can touch the sky

There is no mystery

There's only you - only me

This is no spot light I'm shining on you

You radiate around me

This is no claim of what love cannot do

You open me up to breathe

And in that precious moment

Between hope and now

And all the shadows giving way

And nothing brings me down

Something in the way you smile at me

Lifts me up - let's me believe

Something in the light that shines in your eyes

Picks me up - and I can touch the sky

There is no mystery

There's only you - only me

I can still recall the first time you were around me

I can still recall - recall it all

Something in the way you smile at me

Lifts me up - let's me believe

Something in the light that shines in your eyes

Picks me up - and I can touch the sky

There is no mystery

There's only you - only me
