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 John Derek Hamilton March 18,2017
