I have been trying to find the name and artist of a song for about 10
years.  I originally thought it was sung by Michael W. Smith, but now
am unsure (if not him, it certainly sounds like him).  The song is
slow, ballad like, and I think has piano as the main instrument.  the
lyrics that I know are as follows (they may not be exact):  "You are
the one who makes me laugh, you are the one who makes me cry, Oh I
could go on and on and on, but that would do nothing if you're gone." 
I believe the song is from 1993 or before.  Please help, its been
driving me nuts for years!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!  You have helped me end a search that
has been bugging me for 10 years!  I had remembered the name Chris
Cuevas, but didn't know how to spell it, and searching for a song
called "You are the One" yielded more results than I could go through.
 Thank you so much!  :)
