Only You

by Yazoo and by The Flying Pickets.

Written in 1982 by Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke as a goodbye gift to the band. Depeche Mode didn't take it and so he went on to record it after forming the duo Yazoo with Alison Moyetit.

The first video is the popular cover version which was released in 1983 by the a cappella vocal group The Flying Pickets, which beat the original version on the charts.

The second video is an official remix of the song (made by Yazoo) which was released in 1999 and brought the 17 years old song back to the charts.

If you want to hear\see the original song, click here for the (funny) video clip (not the highest sound quality) or here (better audio quality but no video clip). You can read the lyrics after the videos.

This is for Julia. I think I saw you on the street today.





Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving further away
Want you near me

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

Sometimes when I think of her name
When it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
