All I See Is You

middle 1985 big hair band styling, guitar rifts, synthesizers, even a horn line background

# "All I See Is You"
*(Power ballad – 72 BPM building to 130. Think big arena reverb.)*

**\[Intro: Clean electric guitar arpeggio, soft synth pad, a single kick drum like a heartbeat\]**

**\[Verse 1 – soft, almost whispered vocal\]**
Caught you standing in the golden light
Across the room on a Saturday night...
Hair like honey falling on your shoulders
And baby, you smiled at me, i got bolder...

**\[Pre-Chorus – building, drums kick in\]**
And I don't even know your name
But I've been saying it in dreams
Every night, every single night
You're the one that I know is right

**\[Chorus – EXPLODES, huge guitars, crashing cymbals\]**
I can't sleep! I can't eat!
You're the fire burning under me
Day and night, you're the light
Every star I see is your eyes, baby
Oh-oh-oh! I just wanna hold you
Oh-oh-oh! I just wanna hold you tonight!

**\[Verse 2 – driving now, full band, galloping rhythm\]**
Morning coffee but I'm dreaming about your kiss
Staring out the window, you are the one i miss
the boys say, "Come on, man, you gotta let it go"
 I just grin ,  'cause you're the only show

**\[Pre-Chorus\]**
And I still don't know your name, girl  I've memorized your face
Every smile, every little glance
You put my heart in a beautiful trace.

**\[Chorus – even bigger, backing vocals on the "oh-oh-oh"\]**
I can't sleep! I can't eat!
You're the melody that won't leave me
Day and night, i want to hold you tight
In my dreams you're the woman that makes life all right
 
Oh-oh-oh! I just wanna hold you
Oh-oh-oh! I just wanna hold you tonight!

**\[Bridge – drops to just voice and a crying guitar, half-time\]**
You're so beautiful it don't seem fair
Like the moon got jealous of your hair
And I'd cross every river, ride every mile
Just to wake up to see  your smile

**\[Guitar solo – soaring, melodic, lots of bends and sustain, very 1987\]**

**\[Final Chorus – key change UP, everything maxed, crowd-chant feel\]**
I CAN'T SLEEP! I CAN'T EAT!
You're the only dream worth dreaming, baby!
Day and night, you're the light
And I'll keep on dreaming till we make it right!
Oh-oh-oh! I just wanna be with you!
Oh-oh-oh! I just wanna be with you!

**\[Outro – big sustained chord, vocal ad-lib fading:\]**
*All I see is you… all I see is you…*
*Every night, baby… you're all I see…*

**\[Final power chord rings out. Feedback fades. Silence.\]**

*Picture: fog machines, wind in the hair, a spotlight from above, and a leather jacket with the sleeves cut off. The crowd holds up lighters. It's 1987 and everyone means it.*
