Song lyrics
I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marveling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until I can make you mine

[Chorus]
You are the one I want
You are the one I want

I've been thinking of changing my mind
It never stays the same for long
But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one

You are the one I want
You are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far

You are the one I want
You are the one I want

I won't find what I am looking for
If I only see by keeping score
'Cause I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'Cause if I add, if I subtract if I
Give it all try to take some back
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum
So you are one
I want

When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song

You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want

You'll still be the one
I want

This song is sooo beautiful! I'm not much of a fan of the rest of the album but this song as well as "Scarlet" and "Indelible" are always on my mp3 player

Quote: "Really blond loser" unquote?
Oh, so I take it you have met Brooke?
You haven't?
Well then, HOW do you know her?
You must have met Brooke before making a remark such as this.
If I were like you, and judge people before I have met them, I would say you are a judging, rude, mean idiot... (I won't go on), but I'm not like you, and I haven't met you, so I have no right to make these comments.
Oh yeah, and one more thing: NEWSFLASH! - Auckland is in New Zealand!
Congratulations, you have learnt something new today. Well done! *puts gold star sticker on chart* well, now you only have 99 more stars to go, and you will be caught up to my baby brother!

I agree, this is absolutely gorgeous, but I don't like her other songs either. My best mate (a guy) heard this and cried, me too! Yup.

I love this song, I don't particularly like any of her other songs but I love this song. Absolutely beautiful piano and composition.
