Οι στίχοι του τραγουδιού:
We can never let the word be unspoken
We will never let our loving go, come undone
Everything we had is staying unbroken, oh
You will always be the only one
You're the only one
Won't ever give up 'cause you're still somewhere out there
Nothing or no one's gonna keep us apart
Breaking it down but I'm still getting nowhere
Won't stop, hold on
Thunder and lightning, it's getting exciting
Lights up the skyline to show where you are
My love is rising, the story's unwinding
Together we'll make it and reach for the stars
You're the only one, you're my only one
You're my life, every breath that I take
Unforgettable, so unbelievable
You're the only one, my only one
I could have told you to slow down and stay down
I could have told you a secret, won't you keep it now?
Thinking of making a showdown when love is found
Thinking of waiting till you're around
Won't ever give up 'cause you're still somewhere out there
Nothing or no one's gonna keep us apart
Breaking it down but I'm still getting nowhere
Won't stop, hold on
Thunder and lightning, it's getting exciting
Lights up the skyline to show where you are
My love is rising, the story's unwinding
Together we'll make it and reach for the stars
You're the only one, you're my only one
You're my life, every breath that I take
Unforgettable, so unbelievable
You're the only one, my only one
You're my only one
Thunder… (and lightning)
(It's getting exciting) It's getting exciting…
(Lights up the skyline to show where you are)
To show where you are…
(You're the only one) You're my only one
You're my life, every breath that I take
Unforgettable, so unbelievable
You're the only one, my only one
We will never let our loving go, come undone
Everything we had is staying unbroken, oh
You will always be the only one
You're the only one
Won't ever give up 'cause you're still somewhere out there
Nothing or no one's gonna keep us apart
Breaking it down but I'm still getting nowhere
Won't stop, hold on
Thunder and lightning, it's getting exciting
Lights up the skyline to show where you are
My love is rising, the story's unwinding
Together we'll make it and reach for the stars
You're the only one, you're my only one
You're my life, every breath that I take
Unforgettable, so unbelievable
You're the only one, my only one
I could have told you to slow down and stay down
I could have told you a secret, won't you keep it now?
Thinking of making a showdown when love is found
Thinking of waiting till you're around
Won't ever give up 'cause you're still somewhere out there
Nothing or no one's gonna keep us apart
Breaking it down but I'm still getting nowhere
Won't stop, hold on
Thunder and lightning, it's getting exciting
Lights up the skyline to show where you are
My love is rising, the story's unwinding
Together we'll make it and reach for the stars
You're the only one, you're my only one
You're my life, every breath that I take
Unforgettable, so unbelievable
You're the only one, my only one
You're my only one
Thunder… (and lightning)
(It's getting exciting) It's getting exciting…
(Lights up the skyline to show where you are)
To show where you are…
(You're the only one) You're my only one
You're my life, every breath that I take
Unforgettable, so unbelievable
You're the only one, my only one
