You

This is one song that transcends time for me. I was first exposed to Karen Carpenter's song 'You' when me and my cousins on my mother's side were tasked to learn and sing this for my maternal grandparents for their Golden Wedding Anniversary back in 2000. This same song resurfaced to mind during the funeral of my maternal grandmother 6 years later, coupled with free flowing tears.

I revive this song... simply because I want to continue giving reassurance to my girlfriend by use of this song that I deem so close to my heart.

You are the one who makes me happy

When everything else turns to gray

Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings

And sends me out into the day

You are the crowd that sits quiet list'ning to me

And all the mad sense I make

You are one of the few things worth remembering

And since it's all true, how could anyone mean more to me than you.

Sorry if sometimes I look past you

There's no one beyond your eyes

Inside my head the wheels are turning

Hey sometimes I'm not so wise

You are my heart and my soul, my inspiration

Just like the old love song goes

You are one of the few things worth remembering

And since it's all true, how could anyone mean more to me than you

You are my heart and my soul, my inspiration

Just like the old love song goes

You are one of the few things worth remembering...

And since it's all true, how could anyone mean more to me than you
