JUST FOR YOU
I meet so many people
and see nothing more than skin
I enjoy good conversation
but don’t delve too deep within.
I don't have romantic thoughts
about any other man
and although I laugh and dance
I don’t do so with élan.
I’m so conscious of your absence
and of the hollow in my heart
No'one can hope to take your place
It was yours right from the start.
All I have is just for you
There’s nothing left of me to share
Without you I feel lost
I am so lonesome and so spare
All I have, yes all I have
is just for you
I can walk the busy streets
Smile at strangers, wave my hand
Dine with friends, and share our stories
Listen to a good jazz band
Some would think I’m crazy
and say ‘Go out, enjoy this time.’
but without you at my side,
It only feels like it’s a mime.
I talk with animation
my eyes twinkle and they flash
Yes, I enjoy the company
but then you call - it’s time to dash
All I have is just for you
You’re the sunrise in my sky
You’re the center of my life
You’re the only reason why.
All I have, yes all I have
is just for you...
Each day I keep on counting
down the days until I'm home
I'm tired of all the travelling
of being surrounded yet alone.
I yearn to feel your warm embrace
your skin beneath my hand
You are the one who knows me
and only you will understand
that...
All I have, yes all I have
is just for you...
