I feel my heartbeat When you run your fingers through my hair (Yeah) I can feel you, I can feel you by my side when you're not there (Yeah) Just as my life fades to darkness You you make me see the light Show me that my search is over I pay the price, I pay the price Tell you someday baby, you and I should be one, one Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun The taste of love is sweeter like honey on the vine, Like the wind that feeds the fire, two souls become entwined Someday baby you and I should be one, one So I'm standing 'round this corner Tall enough to touch the New York sky, oh yes My love is so blind I just cannot hear or see the world go by, oh yes Someone can love so completely One kiss should break the sea Truth can be stranger than fiction This love is real This love is real Tell you someday baby, you and I should be one, one Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun Ah we are one, we are one I will follow Count on me, I'll never let you down, oh yes My devotion If love is like an ocean I'll surely drown, oh yes You'll be my only possession I'll be a slave to you We hold the power together Just me and you Just me and you Tell you someday baby, you and I should be one, one Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun Tell you someday baby, you and I should be one, one (You know my life is in your hands, And every breath you take is planned And all this love goes on forever) Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one Do it always baby, you and I should be one, one Do it someday baby, you and I should be one, one Do it always baby, you and I should be one, one Do it someday baby, you and I should be one, one Do it always baby, you and I should be one, one
