Lyrics
The One I Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When days are long and nights are lonely
And all my daydreams have gone astray I think about the one and only
Who's bound to find me some golden day
The one I love is coming along some day
And I'll have none except the one I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away
But I'll have none except the one I love
And though our meeting is left to chance
Until our meeting
I still will have my dream romance
And through the night I pray to the moon above
To please be kind and find the one I love
