You & You Alone

If you want

To try and step into another kind of shoe

Well I’ll be right behind

And he might

Be a little bit like me but more of you

Well I hope that as he grew

What if she would

Maybe look like you

So beautiful that I’d have two

Well they’ll grow

Slower than the wind blows

But faster as each day goes by

And when they're old enough to run

They'll walk away one day

And I would have you back

Until then I can share

I’ll wait for when there's time to spare

But it always goes too fast

You should be the first to know

That all I need is you and you alone

Well I guess

That probably if I knew then

I'd finally understand when

Because “I told you so” became a reason

To know is too imposing

And life is what’s been chosen

But not by you and me

And so then

We watch them come and go and

As quietly they grow into someone just like you

And I know

That I can only say so

Many times that I won't

Ever let you down until I show you

And when they're old enough to run

They'll walk away one day

And I would have you back

Until then I can share

I’ll wait for when there's time to spare

But it always goes too fast

And every time

They run past me and straight to you

I understand 'cause I would too

You should be the first to know

That all I need is you and you alone
