To the one i love
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.
To an honest man
I could give my body and my soul
With a practiced hand
You could lift me up and make me whole
To the one I love I give the key
And his eyes are stars that shine on me
And I smell the ocean in the dawn
And the bitter times have come and gone
An Egyptian cab
On the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise
We are going home
And the lust is flirting in your eyes
To the one I love I give the key
And his eyes are stars that shine on me
And I smell the ocean in the dawn
And the bitter times have come and gone
Have come and gone
Have come and gone
Have come and gone
Lalala...
In a hotel room
Up above the lights are talking square
While the music plays
I'm on my way to meet you there
To the one I love I give the key
And his eyes are stars that shine on me
And I'm back where I belong
And the bitter times have come and gone
Lalala...
Ooh...
To the one I love I give the key
And his eyes are stars that shine on me
Oh shine on me
Oh shine on me
Oh shine... on me
Oh shine on me
Oh shine on me
Shine on me
Oh shine on me
