about

Written for my wife on her birthday, the ballad is universal in the way it celebrates the joys and accomplishments of many years together, founded on a foundation of love and respect, and how an unconditional love is freeing, rather than constraining or limiting. Musically, the arrangement hearkens back (in a good way) to the orchestrated pop of the late 60s, with a subtle string arrangement courtesy of Chris Taylor.

lyrics

We’ve roamed the world now, you and I
Beaches, mountains, and crystal skies
No one knows what we have seen
Countries, cities, and space between

We’ve had adventures, you and I
Underwater and way up high
Scared and tired, but what to do?
Holding hands, we’d see it through

‘Cause it’s you / And it’s me / And it’s us / Can they see?
That it’s you / And it’s me / And our love / Sets us free

We’ve raised our children, you and I
Laughs and tears, but they learned to fly
Forever family but still we’re friends
Bound together from start to end

We worked all those years, you and I
Building cities and growing minds
Made our world a bit better place
Never trying to win the race

‘Cause it’s you / And it’s me / And it’s us / Can they see?
That it’s you / And it’s me / And our love / Sets us free

Curiosity fed this journey
Just to see how it turns out
Moving on without a road map
Mixing confidence and doubt

<instrumental>

We lie together now, you and I
Still that twinkle in your eye
Murmured dreams of future days
While our memories turn to haze

‘Cause it’s you / And it’s me / And it’s us / Can they see?
That it’s you / And it’s me / And our love / Sets us free

And it’s you / And it’s me / And it’s us / Can they see?
That it’s you / And it’s me / And our love / Sets us free
