Story Behind The Song
The words were originally written by me as part of my speech as best man to my nephew's wedding. The music was added at a later date when I was searching around for a suitable song for the two lovers in 'U.F.O.' a sci-fi musical play I was writing.
Song Description
When two people love each other with utmost conviction, they almost become a single unit. Hence the song title 'You Are Me and I Am You'. The best accompaniement song to the marriage ceremony.

Lyrics
I'll never make you stay if it's pretending
I'd rather make this day a tearful ending
So don't say you love me unless you can mean it
And mean when you say it
That love is forever, forever and ever.
(Chorus)
For you are me and I am you
We are one, never two
All my life I'll live for you
So make my life your own
Nothing can part us now, now we are lovers.
We'll see it through somehow, now we're together
Through Springtime and Summer
Through Autumn and Winter we'll make it together
Forever and ever, forever and ever.
(Chorus)
