Verse 1:
I’ve been
waiting for this moment, to tell you what’s on my mind.
It’s been a long
time coming, but I’ve seen you when you’ve loved me,
And you know I
want to press rewind.
Fast forward to
the present, and I still have love, in my heart, bursting from the seams.
I’ve seen you
stumble, even fall, pick you up, dust
you off, stick together just to touch our dreams.
I’ve got your
back, you’ve got mine; now that’s the way that it’s supposed to be.
Through hell or
high water, even rain or drought; working hard just to set us free.
Nothing, Nothing,
Nothing, Nothing should be up in our way. Nothing should get up in our way.
Chorus A:
Did you imagine,
did you imagine you and me, me and you, you and I, just the two of us?
Can you imagine,
can you imagine you and me, me and you, you and I, just the two of us?
Bridge:
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
Verse 2:
If you go your
way, I guess I have to go mine.
I’d rather talk
about it. Maybe we can sift through this ash to find;
the essence of
the beauty.
That’s the
square of the root and seed.
Maybe we can
stay together, friends we’ll have to try and be.
One foot in
front of the other, each day at a time;
You’re etched
inside my soul, and a beautiful fixture in my mind.
My heart beats for
the magic; we’ve shared before this path.
One plus one it
equals two, but three came and messed the math.
Chorus A:
Did you imagine,
did you imagine you and I, me and you, just the two of us?
Can you imagine,
can you imagine you and me, me and you, you and I, just the two of us?
Rap:
I like the Santa
Cruz weather, with the ‘Well Within’;
Sipping drinks
at our favorite bar, feeling the wind.
Let the Sun go
down on our way back home.
Let the stars
come out.
No we’re never
alone.
Two pieces of
the puzzle, and the pictures grand, if you hold my hand,
well gurl, I’ll be your
man.
Let the Ocean
crash waves as we coast along.
Filled up with
love that we both belong.
Time after time
in this pattern of stress, we do our best, and give to God, the rest.
Take risks in
our routine that drain us both.
Set goals to
achieve as it all unfolds.
Chorus B:
Just me and you,
gurl, you and I.
We touch the
sky, and we fly so high.
Just me and you,
gurl, you and I.
We touch the
sky, and we fly so high.
Just me and you,
gurl, you and I.
We touch the
sky, and we fly so high.
Just me and you,
gurl, you and I.
We touch the
sky, and we fly so high.

Bridge:
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
{Music breaking
down}
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
{No Music}
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.
Ooh oooh gurl,
ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain!
