The Power Of Two - Neil Diamond

Was getting deeper into the night

Knew you weren’t coming home

Nothing I was doing was right

And now I’ve got to face it alone

The night getting darker

Baby the darker it got, struggled with why and what

But I could not fight what I knew was true

I was not gonna get through the night

Without the power of two…

Me and you

Feeling like I’m out on a ledge

Standing with my back to the wall

Used to be I’d go straight ahead

Now I’m going nowhere at all

The night getting longer

Baby the longer it went, just didn’t make any sense

Couldn’t see, couldn’t hear, didn’t know what to do

Was like I had no power at all

Without the power of two…

Me and you

I never knew before that two was more

Than one and one until that night

Was nothing I could do

But think of how I’m losing you, and

It shook me, it shocked me, you locked me out there

Looking for a place I could hide

Searching for a corner to turn

Left me here alone for one night

Showed me I had something to learn

I tried not to need you, but I needed you anyway

Wouldn’t be easy to say, but the way that I see it

I’m half without you, and I’m not gonna make myself whole

Without the power of two…

Me and you

Morning couldn’t wait

I knew that it was getting late, but I hung on

I had no choice at all, was either walk away or crawl, and

I’m pleading, I’m bleeding

I think I’m falling deeper into that hole

Deeper that I thought I could get

Like a bug that’s stuck in a bowl climbing out’s impossible, yet

He keeps trying harder, harder than he thought he could

I finally understood

I could hear, I could see, and the truth came through

We had ten times the power of one

We had the power of two…

Me and you

Was nothing we couldn’t do

Just me and you

We had the power of two
