Lyrics The Power Of Two - Neil Diamond

The Power Of Two

Was getting deeper into the night
Knew you weren’t coming home
Nothing I was doing was right
And now I’ve got to face it alone
The night getting darker
Baby the darker it got, struggled with why and what
But I could not fight what I knew was true
I was not gonna get through the night
Without the power of two…
Me and you
Feeling like I’m out on a ledge
Standing with my back to the wall
Used to be I’d go straight ahead
Now I’m going nowhere at all
The night getting longer
Baby the longer it went, just didn’t make any sense
Couldn’t see, couldn’t hear, didn’t know what to do
Was like I had no power at all
Without the power of two…
Me and you
I never knew before that two was more
Than one and one until that night
Was nothing I could do
But think of how I’m losing you, and
It shook me, it shocked me, you locked me out there
Looking for a place I could hide
Searching for a corner to turn
Left me here alone for one night
Showed me I had something to learn
I tried not to need you, but I needed you anyway
Wouldn’t be easy to say, but the way that I see it
I’m half without you, and I’m not gonna make myself whole
Without the power of two…
Me and you
Morning couldn’t wait
I knew that it was getting late, but I hung on
I had no choice at all, was either walk away or crawl, and
I’m pleading, I’m bleeding
I think I’m falling deeper into that hole
Deeper that I thought I could get
Like a bug that’s stuck in a bowl climbing out’s impossible, yet
He keeps trying harder, harder than he thought he could
I finally understood
I could hear, I could see, and the truth came through
We had ten times the power of one
We had the power of two…
Me and you
Was nothing we couldn’t do
Just me and you
We had the power of two
