Lyrics:
We can never let the word be unspoken\\nWe will never let our loving go, come undone\\nEverything we had is staying unbroken, oh\\nYou will always be the only one\\n\nYou're the only one\\n\\nWon't ever give up 'cause you're still somewhere out there\\nNothing or no one's gonna keep us apart\\nBreaking it down but I'm still getting nowhere\\nWon't stop, hold on\\n\nThunder and lightning, it's getting exciting\\nLights up the skyline to show where you are\\nMy love is rising, the story's unwinding\\nTogether we'll make it and reach for the stars\\n\nYou're the only one, you're my only one\\nYou're my life, every breath that I take\\nUnforgettable, so unbelievable\\nYou're the only one, my only one\\n\nI could have told you to slow down and stay down\\nI could have told you a secret, won't you keep it now?\\nThinking of making a showdown when love is found\\nThinking of waiting till you're around\\n\\nWon't ever give up 'cause you're still somewhere out there\\nNothing or no one's gonna keep us apart\\nBreaking it down but I'm still getting nowhere\\nWon't stop, hold on\\n\nThunder and lightning, it's getting exciting\\nLights up the skyline to show where you are\\nMy love is rising, the story's unwinding\\nTogether we'll make it and reach for the stars\\n\nYou're the only one, you're my only one\\nYou're my life, every breath that I take\\nUnforgettable, so unbelievable\\nYou're the only one, my only one\\n\nYou're my only one\\n\nThunder… (and lightning)\\n(It's getting exciting) It's getting exciting…\\n(Lights up the skyline to show where you are)\\nTo show where you are…\\n\n(You're the only one) You're my only one\\nYou're my life, every breath that I take\\nUnforgettable, so unbelievable\\nYou're the only one, my only one
