You and Me Lyrics
(You and me, you and me,
nobody, baby, but you and me)
Hey, hey, hey,
My my my my my my my my
(You and me, you and me,
nobody, baby, but you and me)
If the stars don't shine,
If the moon won't rise,
If I never see the setting sun again
You won't hear me cry, this I testify
Please believe me, boy, you know I won't lie
As long is there is
(you and me, you and me,
nobody baby but you and me)
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Hey hey hey,
My, my my my my my my my
(you and me, you and me,
nobody, baby, but you and me)
If you love a soul more than fame and gold,
And that soul feels the same about you,
It's a natural fact - there's no turning back,
and here's some advice to you
All you got to say is
(you and me, you and me
nobody, baby, but you and me)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Hey, hey, hey
My my my my my my my my
(you and me, you and me,
nobody, baby, but you and me)
When love is real, you don't have to show it
When it is true, then everyone will know it
Cause there'll be no one but
(you and me, you and me,
nobody, baby, but you and me)
You
Hey hey hey hey
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
(you and me, you and me
nobody, baby, but you and me)

Hey, hey, hey,
My my my my my my my my
(You and me, you and me,
nobody, baby, but you and me)
If the moon won't rise,
If I never see the setting sun again
You won't hear me cry, this I testify
Please believe me, boy, you know I won't lie

*The author of this song is named Jay Robinson, not Larry Curtis Johnson.
"You and Me" was discovered at an estate sale by Ryan Gosling, who begged the director of Blue Valentine to include it in the soundtrack. The lyricist and vocalists were all unknown, simply identified as "Penny and the Quarters."
In 2011 the female vocalist was discovered to be a woman named Nannie Sharpe (nicknamed Penny). "It's been 40 years since I've heard it," she said, "I'm shocked and elated." The backup vocals were sung by her brothers Preston, Johnny, and Donald Coulter. Backup singers at Harmonic, the siblings lucked out one day in 1970 when studio owner Clem Price asked lyricist Jay Robinson to "polish them up." Robinson had them sing "You and Me" (a song he had previously written for the Sharpes, who had not released it) to practice their enunciation and, unbeknownst to the siblings, recorded it - in a single take.
