Lyrics
Janis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Into my life on waves of electrical sound
And flashing light she came,
Into my life with the twist of a dial
The wave of her hand the warmth of her smile.
And even though I know that you and I
Could never find the kind of love we wanted together,
Alone I find myself missing you and I, you and I.
It's not very often that something special happens
And you happen to be that something special for me.
And walking on grass where we rolled and laughed in the moonlight
I find myself thinking of you and I, you and I, you.
Into my eye comes visions of patterns
Designs the image of her I see.
Into my mind the smell of her hair,
The sound of her voice we once were there.
And even though I know that you and I
Could never find the kind of love we wanted together,
Alone, I find myself missing
You and I,
You and I,
You
