“Only You (And You Alone)”
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only youOnly you can make all this change in me
For it’s true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand the magic that you do
You’re my dream come true
My one and only you
Only you can make all this change in me
For it’s true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand the magic that you do
You’re my dream come true
