Fill in the blanks:
"I believe in the power of you and _____"
"It's true we'll make a better day, just you and ______."
Grammatically, the blanks would be replaced as follows:
"I believe in the power of you and me,"
"It's true we'll make a better day, just you and I."
If you're reciting song lyrics, however, it would look like this:
"I believe in the power of you and I,"
-- "I Believe" (Nikki Yanofsky)
"It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me."
-- "We Are The World" (African-famine fundraiser)
Poetic licence and pop-culture are eroding my ear for poor grammar!
