Carly Simon I'd Rather It Was You song lyrics

(Carly Simon)

Tonight the sun went down in flames

And the moon rose up in blue

Heaven spoke and called my name

But I'm rather it was you

I'm rather it was you

I'm rather it was you to hold me like the child

That I never was

I'm like for you to carry me across

I'm rather it was you

Because...

I'd rather it was you to hold me like the girl

That I've never been

I'm like to feel your breath upon my skin

I'm like to feel it finally beginning...

Chorus

One will fit just like a glove

Two will feel like brand new

But you are all these things and more

And I'm rather it was you

I'm rather it was you
