Story Behind The Song
The lyrics for To You were written approximately one year before the music was composed. Mark and myself were sitting on the couch one evening and he was playing around with capos and using it only on 5 strings instead of all 6, and he began to play the most beautiful music I had heard. I immediately knew this was the music for To You and over that night we worked out the arrangement for the song. The final piece came about at the studio where we brought a drummer, our friend Jeff Erny, in to record with us. He had never heard To You before we joined that evening to record. We played the song once through for Jeff and then we played together a couple times and recorded it that night.

Lyrics
I talk to you while you sleep
Speak the words I just can't keep
Locked inside my gentle heart
I just don't know where to start
I whisper softly in your ear
You're the only man for me
I kiss your face do not fear
I'll always hold you close to me
For you my life I live
To you my heart I give
For when my day is done
For me you are the only one
I watch you in the dark
I touch your skin and I feel
My beat with yours warm with mine
I steal this moment in time
Then you wake and our eyes meet
I taste your lips with mine so sweet
Within your love is all I need
It's where I always wanna be
For you my life I live
To you my heart I give
For when my day is done
For me you are the only one
For when my day is done
For me you are the only one
For you my life I live
To you my heart I give
