We've been together since way back when 
Sometimes I never want to see you again 
But I want you to know, after all these years 
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear 

You're still the one I want to talk to in bed 
Still the one that turns my head 
We're still having fun, and you're still the one 

I looked at your face every day 
But I never saw it 'til I went away 
When winter came, I just wanted to go 
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow 

You're still the one that makes me laugh 
Still the one that's my better half 
We're still having fun, and you're still the one 

You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I want to take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one (yes you are!)

Changing, our love is going gold 
Even though we grow old, it grows new 

You're still the one that I love to touch 
Still the one and I can't get enough 
We're still having fun, and you're still the one 

You're still the one who can scratch my itch 
Still the one and I wouldn't switch 
We're still having fun, and you're still the one 

You're still the one that makes me shout 
Still the one that I dream about 
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

Orleans

Orleans is an American pop-rock band best known for its hits "Dance with Me" (1975), "Still the One", from the album Waking and Dreaming (1976) and "Love Takes Time" (1979). The group's name evolved from the music it was playing at the time of their formation, which was inspired by Louisiana artists such as Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers. Orleans was formed in Woodstock, New York in January 1972 by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Hall, vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Larry Hoppen and drummer/percussionist Wells Kelly. In October of that year, the group expanded to include Larry's younger brother, Lance, on bass. Drummer Jerry Marotta joined in 1976, completing the quintet. more »
