You and Me
Embracing Love's Light: You and Me by Alice Gerrard
Lyrics
The pleasure of your company
The joy of being in your company.
My mind’s delight and my heart’s ease
You are the source of happiness for my mind and the comfort for my heart.
Keeper of my secret dreams
You hold and nurture my innermost dreams and desires.
Gonna tell you how I feel—
Expressing my emotions and letting you know how I truly feel.
There’s a lot that’s wrong with this old world
Acknowledging the various challenges and flaws in the world.
But there’s nothing wrong with you and me.
Despite the world's imperfections, our relationship remains perfect.
Strong and tender hands beguile
Your hands are both strong and gentle, captivating and charming.
Eyes that warm me with their light
Your eyes radiate warmth and brightness.
Songs of darkness, songs of light
We share both dark and light moments through our shared songs.
And as we stand here tonight—
Standing together, aware of the world's problems.
We know there’s lots that’s wrong with this old world
Recognizing the issues in the world but finding solace in our connection.
But you and me we’ll be alright
Assurance that despite challenges, we will be fine together.
There’s times its a rough and rocky road
Acknowledging the difficulties in our journey.
We may cause each other pain
Recognizing that we may unintentionally hurt each other.
Feel forsaken, hearts are breakin'
Feeling abandoned and experiencing heartbreak.
We turn away
Choosing to turn away during times of pain.
Foolish pride can sometimes hide
Admitting that pride can hinder honest communication.
What we really want to say—
We sometimes hide our true feelings behind foolish pride.
The pleasure of your company
Reiterating the joy of being together.
My mind’s delight and my heart’s ease
You are the delight of my mind and the comfort of my heart, echoing the earlier sentiments.
Keeper of my secret dreams
Continuing to express the importance of sharing dreams with each other.
Gonna tell you how I feel—
Reaffirming the intention to express true feelings.
There’s lots that’s wrong with this old world
Despite the world's challenges, our connection remains unaffected.
But there’s nothing wrong with you and me.
Reiterating the strength of the relationship amidst external issues.
There is a lot that’s wrong with this old world
Highlighting the problems in the world again, but emphasizing the resilience of the relationship.
But there’s nothing wrong with you and me.
Stressing once more that, despite external issues, our relationship is unaffected.
