Only One

James Taylor

Only One

chorus:

you are my only one

you are my only one

well i'm telling you now you're my only one

i've got two long legs like to carry me

two sharp eyes to look for the fight

two strong arms to hold on tight

two good friends on my left and right

but only one only one

chorus:

you are my only one you are my only one

don't be leaving me now you're my only one

there's only one road before me

too many turns in the way

thousands of things to do today

millions of moments i must admit

but only one only one

chorus

taken for granted and pushed aside

all that I wanted was a place to run and hide

missing message in a hollow tree

hidden deep inside a memory

and the memory seems like dreams

hundreds of hopes in the past

nevertheless it was never the last

hold on strong or you fade out fast

and only one only one

chorus
