  • You and me
    Our life is drifting along
    Watching the world as it's singing it's song
    High above
    Someone is calling to me:
    Life is for living and living is free

    You to me
    Are like the sun in the sky
    See how you fly you have wings of your own
    You and me
    Our love will last without end

    Ride with the wind won't you follow me home
    Turn around and see the circles we spin
    And we're taking our chances on where we begin
    Up above
    The rain is falling on me

    Life is for living and living is free
    You to me
    Are like the sun in the sky
    See how you fly you have wings of your own
    You and me
    Our love will last without end
    Ride with the wind won't you follow me home

    Taking up time
    Trying to write a line till the break of day
    Given a sign
    Can you make it rhyme
    Tell me what to say
    Making it fine can you ease my mind help me drift away

    Turn around
    And see the circles we spin
    Taking our chances on where we begin
    Up above
    The rain is falling on me
    Life is for living and living is free

    You to me
    Are like the sun in the sky
    See how you fly you have wings of your own
    You and me
    Our love will last without end
    Ride with the wind won't you follow me home Writer/s: Les Holroyd
