YOU and I - Kenny Rogers



Flasing back 3 to 4 years ago.
I was driving back home from my office, when the FM radio I listened playing the tune.
I did not know why at that time I could not recall Kenny Rogers' voice at all.
Perhaps I was too concentrating on the melody of the song.

The next day, about the same time, I also listened to the same FM radio station, and the tune played again. Then I think, this FM radio station must be using a computerized schedule in broadcasting.At that time I also realized there was no announcer saying something. No commercial breaks!

For several days, I tried to be 'on time' going back home, just to catch the tune, and very funny, they kept on using the same broadcasting schedule. :-D

Until one day, right after the tune finished, I could not hold myself to find out what is the title of the song, and who is the singer! And finally I have already made a call to the radio station (I asked the central telephone information to get the FM radio station number!).

Luckily, there was a gentleman answered my call, and told me it was Kenny Rogers' "You and I", I felt so silly that time, how I could not recall very unique voice of Kenny Rogers??

After since then, I tried to get the record. Every time visiting a record shop, I opened my eyes widely on Western Pop section, looking for Kenny Rogers' record. But could not find one until now!

Thanks to the internet! I still can listen Kenny Rogers' You and I, and also the version with Bee Gees, as 2 months later after I found the tune, the FM radio station disappeared totally until now. The frequency not longer available!

All the man I am
You are the reason for me
You help me understand
I'll be your shelter from the rain that never ends
Girl , you've always got a friend in me

All the love we had
I should've know our love was older than the past
Throwing my life away on songs I never heard
Just the speaking of a single word
I made you die inside but you loved me

And don't believe the world
No, the world can't give us paradise
When you make your love to me
Till I just could not see the light
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I

I won't let you down
No better love will be there when you turn around
I'll be living for you till the ocean turns to sand
There will never be any man
Could love you just the way that I love you

So don't believe the world
No, the world can't give up paradise
In the eye within the storm
Just when I could not make it through the night
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I
