You and Me Against the World

(Tell me again Mommy...)

You and me against the world
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world
When all the others turn their backs and walk away,
you can count on me to stay.

Remember when the circus came to town...
and you were frightened by the clown,
wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew?
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for

You and me against the world
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world
and for all the times we cried,
I always felt that God was on our side

And when one of us is gone,
and one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you,
You and me against the World

And when one of us is gone,
and one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do...
Our memories alone will get us through

Think about the days of me and you...
You and me against the world

(I love you Mommy....)
(I love you too Baby.)
