Here we are on earth together
It’s you and I
God has made us fall in love, it’s true
I’ve really found someone like you
Will it say the love you feel for me, will it say
That you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through
Well, in my mind, we can conquer the world
In love you and I, you and I, you and I
I am glad at least in my life I found someone
That may not be here forever to see me through
But I found strength in you
I only pray that I have shown you a brighter day
Because that’s all that I am living for, you see
Don’t worry what happens to me
Cause in my mind, you will stay here always
In love, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
In my mind we can conquer the world
In love, you and I, you and I, you and I
