Arithmetic (Brooke Fraser Series)

This is from her first album which I love just as much as her second one. I bought the album not really knowing who she is but I fell in love with her voice - who'd have thought when I bought her cd back then that I'd be seeing her so often (you know, like at conferences and stuff). Ok, well obviously God did!!

Arithmetic
I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until I can make you mine
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been thinking of changing my mind
(It never stays the same for long)
But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I won't find what I am looking for
If I only "see" by keeping score
'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'Cos if I add, if I subtract
If I give it all, try to take some back
I've forgotten the freedom that come from the fact
That you are the sum
So you are the one I want

When my years are showing on my face
And the strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song

You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
