JUST YOU AND I
(Melissa Manchester / Carole Bayer Sager)

Melissa Manchester 1975


When your heroes go up in a puff
And there's not enough to hang on to
And the ones you would count on to call
They all fall down all around you.

Then you've got to believe there's more
It is the reason we're put here for
It's just you and I.

When the legends over and we have just begun
We can look to each other to see us through
Just you and I.

When a miracle's long overdue
There's no one who's gonna come to guide you
So you keep lookin' up to the sky wondering why
The clouds won't hide you.

At the times when you're most afraid
That is the reason why dreams are made
There's just you and I.

When the legends over and we have just begun
We can look to each other to see us through
Just you and I.

At the times when you're most afraid
That is the reason why dreams are made
There's just, just you and I.

When the legends over and we have just begun
We can look to each other to see us through
Just you and I.

When the legends over
There'll be just you, just you and I
When the legends over
There'll be just you, just you and I
When the legends over
There'll be just you, just you and I
When the legend's over
