U2 "All I Want Is You" (live from Slane)

"Van Dyke Parks came into the studio, listened to what we'd done, went off and wrote this absolutely gorgeous and incredibly haunting arrangement which lasts two and a half minutes. It was a great way to end the album. 'All I Want Is You' is probably the best of what we were trying to do with that album, in that it has a traditional basis but it was a truly U2 song." - The Edge, U2 By U2 2006.

I would like to dedicate this song to my beautiful wife. To Ali.

You say you want a diamond on a ring of gold

You say you want your story to remain untold

All the promises we make from the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you 

You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it

Your treasure just to look upon it

All the riches in the night 

You say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness

A river in a time of dryness

A harbour in the tempest

All the promises we make from the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you 

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold

Our story to remain untold 

Our love not to grow cold 

All the promises we break from the cradle to the grave

All I want is you 

All I want is you

All I want is you

All I want is you

All I want is you 

All I want is you 

All I want is fuckin' you, man

You

All I want is you 

All I want is you 

All I need is you 

All I want is you 

All I need is you 

All I want is you 

All I want is you 

All I need is you 

All I want is you 

All I need is you 

All I want is you
