Oh, I don't know how long I'll stay
Oh, I can't tell you lie that way
So if you can believe it
Since the day we first met
I've had not one regret
Darling, don't you forget
So if you can believe it
Times I's lost, I's upset
Gambled thought I'd lost it
Having you in my life was a sure bet
If you can believe it
If you can believe it
Held tight, felt right
A give, a take
We've had our fights
Both made mistakes
But if you can believe it
Since the day we first met
I've had not one regret
Darling, don't you forget
If you can believe it
Times I's lost, I's upset
Gambled thought I'd lost it
Having you in my life was a sure bet
If you can believe
If you can believe it
If you can believe
If you can believe it
Oh, I don't know how long I'll stay

You and I
Wait for each other
You and I
Stronger than lovers
You and I
So much to discover
For you and I
You and I
When the love left just a friendship
That's when we found our greatest gift
Little distance for perspective
Gentle patience, sit reflective, oh
You and I
I hope you feel it
I hope you feel it too
Feel it too, feel it too
You and I, you and I
It’s to reach for something greater
Doesn't matter now or later
I heard somebody mention
It's the thought, it’s the intention, oh
You and I
I hope you feel it
I hope you feel it too
Feel it too, feel it too
You and I, you and I
You and I
We wait for each other
Stronger than lovers
So much to discover
For you and I
You and I
When the love left just a friendship
