You

Carpenters

You are the one who makes me happy

When everything else turns to grey

Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings

And sends me out into the day

You are the crowd that sits quiet

Listening to me

To all the mad sense I make

You are one of the few things worth remembering

And if it's all true

How can anyone mean more to me

Than you

Sorry if sometimes I look past you

There's no one beyond your eyes

Inside my head the wheels are turning

Hey, sometimes I'm not so wise

You are heart (you are my heart, you're my, my inspiration)

Just like the old love song goes (just like a love song)

You are one of the few things worth remembering

And if it's all true

How can anyone mean more to me

Than you

(You are my heart, you're my, my inspiration)

Just like the old love song goes (just like a love song)

You are one of the few things worth remembering

And if it's all true

How can anyone mean more to me

Than you

(You're the one) you

(You're the one, you're the one, ooh..., you're the one for me)
