You & You Alone - Umphrey's McGee

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
