You're The One

When I was a child
I cried on mother's shoulder
She would look at me and say
When you grow older
You will come to know
The joy and love of one good man
Everything will come in time
If you believe it
Anything you truly want
You can achieve it
Picture In your mind the love you'll find
With one good man
Some day a prince will
Come your way
He'll smile at you and say
He's waited all his life
For someone like you
And if the love is real
Within your heart you'll feel
I'm yours for life
'Cause you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one for me
Many years have past away
Since mother told me
I would find a man
To love, to have and hold me
There were many men
But not of them that one good man
I began to doubt that I would
Find my true love
But then before I knew what happened
I found you, love
You were like a dream come true
You were that one good man
Some day a prince will
Come your way
He'll smile at you and say
He's waited all his life
For someone like you
And if the love is real
Within you heart you'll feel
I'm yours for life
'Cause you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one for me
It's true, I knew
From that day on
My lonely days were gone
Those lonely tears have dried
Since you are by my side
Now and forever more
You'll be with me
And we will love
You are my other half
When I was a child I cried
On mother's shoulder
She would look at me and say
When you grow older
You'll find a man to love
And now I see that
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one for me
