You & You Alone

jusrus2.jpg

Here is by far the best work by Justin and I. This is a song that I wrote for my brother and my sister-in-law on their wedding anniversary earlier this year. The original music is by Brandon, which was slightly modified by Justin to suit the lyrics (which were also modified slightly from the original words). Justin sang and also did a commendable job on his 12-string Guitar. I did the fingerpicking on my 6-string and sang the chorus and fill-in parts. Click on the play button (double click in Internet Explorer) to start the song.

Words:

So many years have passed since I
I held you close to me
So many days have passed
Still there’s none like thee

We’ve come far since we met
Still you said you’ll stay
Forever and ever till the end
Till the stars all fade away

Though it’s been so long
Darlin’, this I know
When my eyes can see no more
You’d be there to show

The light in your eyes
When the shadows fall
And so I sing for you my love
You and you alone

The beat of my heart my everything
Yes, I swear I’ll stay
By your side till the end of time
Till the stars all fade away
You and you alone

There were times
When we grew apart
Guess we were too young
Except inside our hearts
Deep inside Dear, I knew it all
I’d be there for you, should you ever fall
You are still the one
You and you alone.
