Awww

Video Find of the Day

A song to make you go awww. Usually I can't stand awww-ness, but once in a while if conditions are right (it generally takes four beers and a flashback or two) I will break down, sob, and overly like something like this. The lyrics below are copied from the description by alleycat82 herself. That's an Australian accent, by the way.

Said the Raindrop to the Seed (the You & Me song) - original



"You and me,"
Said the raindrop to the seed
"WE'll make a winning team won't we?
Cause when I fall down
You'll become a pretty flower
And I'll be finally free
From the shackles of this cloud

And the sun will shine
And we'll make the most of life
Come, we haven't got much time
'Cause all living things must die
But I will nurture you
'Til your petals turn to white
And you will hold me close
Until the last drop of me dries"

'Cause you and me
We have each other
And that's all we need
The place I'll call my home
Is anywhere that you will be
You and me
We'll never make a mark on the shape of history
But I'm glad you came to make your mark on me

So darling when I lie down
I hope you'll be around
To lay your roses down over me
'Cause I'd never keep
To watch you fall asleep
I wouldn't last the day
Without you standing next to me

Through a satellite lens
We are just a tiny speck
Oh, of little consequence
In the greater scheme of things
But from down here
In our private little sphere
The colours are in focus
And the picture's crystal clear

'Cause you and me
We've got each other
And that's all we need
The place I'll call my home
Is anywhere that you will be
You and me
We'll never make a mark on the shape of history
But I'm glad you came to make your mark on me

Yeah I'm glad you came to make your mark on me.
