YOU ARE THE ONE

Mark Schroettner

You ...
You are everything to me
You are like a fruit upon a tree
You make me happy
Very happy baby.

You ...
You are the one that I want to see
You are the one lying close to me
You are where I want you to be
Close to me
Close to me.

You ...
You are the one that can open up my mind
You are the one that treats me kind
You are everything to me
Can't you see?
Can't you see?

You ...
You are the one that I want to see
You are the fruit upon the tree
You are lying close to me
Close to me.

You ...
I am glad that you are here
You take away all my fears
I need to hold you tonight
'cause everything feels so right
'cause of you babe
Yes you babe.
