"You & I" lyrics

I spoke to you again today
In a grove of redwood trees
You told me I am beautiful
You spoke your truth to me
Inside every winter
Is a summer waiting to be free
But I was so very tired, tired of being me

It's just that I've been waiting for so long
It's just that time keeps moving on and on
But every time I close my eyes
I think of you and feel all right
Telling me that everything will be just fine

You and I were meant to be
You and I were meant to see
That you and I, we're all we need
To have, to hold for eternity

I lay inside the nook of the tallest tree trunk
Felt its branches wrap around me
And shower me with leaves of love
I dreamt of strange places and time stood still
And as we spoke, I remembered when I was a little girl

You said "Surrender and let go"
You said that I would never be alone
But every time I close my eyes
I think of you and feel all right
Telling me that everything will be just fine

You and I were meant to be
You and I were meant to see
That you and I, we're all we need
To have, to hold for eternity

As our conversation ended and dusk began to fall
I thanked you and prepared to go back into the world
The wind kissed the pine needles, humming a melody
And when I think of you, I sing it quietly

You and I were meant to be
You and I were meant to see
That you and I, we're all we need
To have, to hold for eternity
You and I were meant to be
You and I were meant to see
That you and I, we're all we need
To have, to hold for eternity
