The latest single from Glee star Lea Michele's debut album Louder has dropped, and is a clearly powerful testament to her relationship with late co-star Cory Monteith.
Lea Michele 'Cannonball' Was A Source Of Strength Following Cory Monteith Death
You're Mine, one of two songs Michele has dedicated to the late actor on her album, hit the web on Monday, and tells the story of how Michele, 27, and Monteith, 31, met and fell in love on the set of their hit FOX show.
"And I told you all my dreams and fears/and you looked at me and your eyes filled with tears/And you said those three words I'd been waiting for/You became a part of me," she sings.

She continues to belt in the chorus, singing "You're mine for life/and I'll be by your side/We are entwined/You're mine for life/hold me until we die/I'm yours and you are mine."
Michele has previously stated that several songs from the album are about her late boyfriend, who died in Vancouver from a mixed drug toxicity due to heroin and alcohol July 13.
During an appearance on Ellen back in December, Michele opened up about the album and Monteith's influence on it.
"I'm really happy because Cory got to hear all but two songs on the record, and he had lots of notes, all the time," Michele said.
She also opened up during the interview about her other tribute song to Monteith, which he never got to hear.
"After everything happened I met with Sia, who's incredible, and she said 'Do you want to write anything for this?'" Michele said. "And I think one of the hardest things is feeling like you're going to forget everything, so I felt it was important to just take a moment to see what we could come up with, and we came up with a beautiful song called If You Say So, that I wrote about Cory."
She explained how her debut single, Cannonball, was also the song which helped her get through her grief after Monteith's death.
"The minute I heard the song, it lifted me up, it picked me up from everything," she said.
Michele began working on the album in September 2012 and it was initially set for release in the summer of 2013, though the date was pushed back following Monteith's death.
Louder will be available on store shelves March 4. Listen to You're Mine below.
