  • Close your eyes
    Let me tell you all the reasons why
    Think you're one of a kind
    Here's to you
    The one that always pulls us through
    Always do what you gotta do
    You're one of a kind
    Thank God you're mine

    You're an angel dressed in armor
    You're the fair in every fight
    You're my life and my safe harbor
    Where the sun sets every night
    And if my love is blind
    I don't wanna see the light
    It's your beauty that betrays you
    Your smile gives you away
    'Cause you're made of strength and mercy
    And my soul is yours to save
    I know this much is true
    When my world was dark and blue
    I know the only one who rescued me was you

    Close your eyes
    Let me tell you all the reasons why
    You're never gonna have to cry
    Because you're one of a kind
    Yeah, here's to you
    The one that always pulls us through
    You always do what you gotta do, baby
    Because you're one of a kind

    When your love pours down on me
    I know I'm finally free
    So I tell you gratefully, mm
    Every single beat in my heart
    Is yours to keep

    So close your eyes
    And let me tell you all the reasons why, babe
    You're never gonna have to cry, baby
    Because you're one of a kind
    Yeah, here's to you
    You're the one that always pulls us through
    You always do what you gotta do, baby
    Because you're one of a kind

    You're the reason why I'm breathing
    With a little look my way
    You're the reason that I'm feeling
    It's finally safe to stay Writer/s: Alan Chang, Jann Arden, Michael Bublé
