You

Emotional Power Ballad / Lost Love

The Story

Some people walk into your life only once. The one you waited for your whole life – and the one you should never have let go.

“You” is a song for the empty chair, the rain against the window and the melody that keeps singing one name, hour after hour. It is the confession of a man who was young and blind, who now carries the scars of time, and who would turn the whole world around just to dance with her in the moonlight one more time.

For everyone who has found the one – hold on tight.

Lyrics

The neon lights, they're fading out
And the night is so cold and bare
I sit right here where you once stood
Holding on to what we shared
The rain is beating on the pane
Every single tear I dropped
My heart only beats for you

The melody inside my head
It sings your name, so loud and pure
I cannot quench the fire in you
You are my yearning, so clear

Every hour cries your name!
You are the flame I cannot forget!
Every hour cries your name!
Without you, I am a broken man!

I know I let you walk away
I was foolish and blind and young
Now I bear the scars of time
A price I never meant to pay
I'd turn the whole world back around
Just to have you here forevermore
You are the very breath within my chest

Every hour cries your name!
You are the flame I cannot forget!
Every hour cries your name!
Without you, I am a broken man!

And when I close my eyes
I see us, dancing in the moonlight
That memory holds me tight
It is my only path through the night

Every hour cries your name!
You are the flame I cannot forget!
Every hour cries your name!
Without you, I am a broken man!
