Verse 1
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

Verse 2
Will it stay, 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?

Chorus
'Cause in my mind, we could conquer the world
In love you and I, you and I, you and I

Alto Saxophone Solo

Chorus
'Cause in my mind, we will stay here always
In love, you and I, you and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
