This song is actually a rewrite of another song on this page. I changed key, added a new middle and a different feel. This recording features piano, bass and drums, with some strings in the back, and lead guitar here and there. I haven't been playing bass or piano much lately on recordings, letting the machine do it instead; but here I am taking the bulls by their respective horns, good or bad.
The lyrics are of course, inspired by my amazing wife. My aim was to keep the message pure and simple. This is the first song written in 2003. Whoopie, huh?
Buy the CD!I know, that you are the one
Who keeps me from the rain
My shelter from the sun
And I know, you'll be by my side
No matter what it takes
Through all of my mistakes
Until the day is done
And every battle's won
You are the one
I know, that you are the one
An ever-guiding light
My candle in the night
And I know, you'll show me the way
To love you so much more
Than any day before
After all the while
I cherish every smile
You are the one
When you wake up,
I look in your eyes
When you're sleeping,
I wonder why
You're seeing,
Something deep in me
That's someone
I'm trying hard to be
(Solo)
I know, that you are the one
To hold me when I'm weak
To hear when I can't speak
And I know, you'll let me show you
How brave that I can be
When you believe in me
On that we can depend
Until the bitter end
You are the one
