Umphrey's McGee > Songs > You & You Alone > Lyrics


    If you want to try and step into another kind of shoe I'll be right behind
    And he might be a little bit like me but more of you well I hope that as he grew
    What if she would maybe look like you so beautiful that I'd have two
    Well they'll grow slower than the wind blows
    But faster as each day goes by
    And when they're old enough to run they'll walk away one day
    And I would have you back
    Until then I can share - I'll wait for when there's time to spare
    but it always goes too fast
    You should be the first to know that all I need is you and you alone
    Well I guess that probably if I knew then
    I'd finally understand when
    Because �"I told you so” became a reason
    To know is too imposing
    And life is what's been chosen - but not by you and me
    And so then - we watch them come and go and
    Quietly they grow into someone just like you
    And I know that I can only say so
    Many times that I won't ever let you down until I show you
    And when they're old enough to run they'll walk away one day
    And I would have you back
    Until then I can share - I'll wait for when there's time to spare
    but it always goes too fast
    And every time they run past me and straight to you I understand cause I would too
    But you should be the first to know that all I need is you and you alone
