You're The One

Lloyd G. Cresci 1956 (California)



I want to hear you telling me,
You'll be over in a while.
I want to hear your motorcar,
That's a sound that makes me smile.
I want to hear your delicate hand,
As you're knocking on my door.
I want to hear your footsteps,
As you walk upon my floor.
I want to feel you move with me,
As we're dancing to that song.
I want to know all this and more,
And I don't want to wait too long.
I want to know the joy of love,
With you under starry skies.
I want to hear your ragged breath,
As our passions start to rise.
I want to smell your sweet perfume,
As we’re drifting off to sleep.
I want to wake up next to you,
'cause you're the one I want to keep.
