From the recording On The Night You Were Born
Lyrics
You & I
Words and Music by Wolff Bowden © 2007 ASCAP
When I look in your eyes
I watch the carousel ride
blue horses are spinnin with all of the children
who want to fly
You say you want to change the world
You couldn’t stop it changing if you tried
Everything’s changing day after day
except you and I
That’s a life I want to live
A life I want to try
Everything’s changing day after day
except you and I
We meet in the trees of the night
and kiss as if setting a fire
somehow I know, wherever we go
we’ll be burning bright
You say you want to change the world…
So let that old carousel spin
as tigers and unicorns sigh
forgiveness is wind on all of the things
that we’ve left behind
You say you want to change the world…
There’s an ocean we have to swim
like swans in the water of time
but somehow I’m sure when we reach the shore
you’ll be by my side
You say you want to change the world…
