John Hamilton Poet Lyric

When You'Re With the One You Love

When you're with the one you love

Life...
is better shared by two
a double vision view...
is always better than one

Skies...
streaks of peaches and cream
what an awesome dream
I devour them with you

Bridge 1
Do you remember the days of old,
spent all alone?
Do you remember nights long ago,
nights so lonely?


I...
recall a... wild river ride
it may have taken some time
it's raging carried me to you

Why...
did you hesitate?
you were worth the wait...
life's better now, being with you

Bridge 2

Now darling,           we'll fly
through the turbulence of time
Let's fly...    just let the wind
blow us beyond the northern lights

Chorus
Life is so great...it's so wonderful
when you're with the one you love
Life is so great...it's so wonderful
when you're with the one you love

I've...
gazed at waterfalls too
what a majestic view
So glad I shared it with you

I've...ascended mountains so high
such a spectacular sight
made better being there with you

Bridge 2

Now... darling,            we'll fly
through the turbulence of time
Let's fly...together,      let the wind
blow us beyond the northern lights


Chorus
Life is so great...it's so wonderful
when you're with the one you love
Life is so great...it's so wonderful
when you're with the one you love

Chorus repeat
fade to zero
