Hey  there I said it I'm in love, with  you.
There's  an ocean between us just like me, deep  and Blue.
And  I, at times have  had nothing.
 But tonight,  I want nothing  but you.
You're  the only thing I want
The  only thing I want
The  only thing on my mind
 All the time
 (Play intro x2)
Staying  up 'till dawn won't take its toll, 'Till  we get old.
And  drinking is just the way, we keep away the  cold.
And  you, you know what it  means.
To  be true, and searching like  me.
You're  the only thing I need
The  only thing I need
The  only thing on my mind
 All the time
And  you gave me a reason
To  give you my soul
 I'll give you it  all
You're  the only one I want
The  only one I need
The  only one on my mind
 All the time
 All the time
 All the time
 All the time
Play this and end on C
