Only you can.

My most recent music-related acquisition is a copy of David Archuleta's self-titled debut album. Of course, people are more familiar with his songs "Crush" as well as "A Little Too Not Over You." Although these songs certainly have their charm, the track that seems to tug at my heartstrings is "You Can."

As with most of Archuleta's songs, "You Can" is a love song. I'm not too sure if I love the song because I have a feeling of longing for someone I miss terribly. The arrangement is quite simple and slow; there are only a few instruments playing in the background which further highlights David's sweet, soothing voice. :) The lyrics are not overly mushy. (Or maybe that's just me, since I'm a sucker for love songs. :P) Overall, it's something I won't mind listening to over and over again.

Lyrics were taken from A-Z Lyrics Universe.

Take me where I've never been,
Help me on my feet again.
Show me that good things come to those who wait.
Tell me I'm not on my own.
Tell me I won't be alone.
Tell me what I'm feelin' isn't some mistake.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Save me from myself, you can.
And it's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Baby, when you look at me,
Tell me, what do you see?
Are these the eyes of someone you could love?
'Cause everything that brought me here,
Well, now it all seems so clear.
Baby, you're the one that I've been dreamin' of.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Save me from myself, you can.
And it's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love...

Only you can take me sailin' in your deepest eyes.
Bring me to my knees and make me cry.
And no one's ever done this,
Everything was just a lie.
And I know, yes I know...

This is where it all begins,
So tell me it'll never end.
I can't fool myself,
It's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Show me that good things come to those who wait.
