Lyrics
The One
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.
It started as a joke
I never thought it would come to this
Today I'm walking in the bushes, like a criminal
Today I', walking so slow, like a predator
Just to get a glimpse of you
As you play in the play ground.
Your mother spoke to the lawyers
Told them I was not good around you
The lawyers spoke to the judges
Told them I was not good around you
The judges gave you mother a letter
That is keeping me away from you'
Don't worry; you are never far from me
Inside my heart, I keep a little box
It is a box of memories I created about you
Chorus
You are the one, you are the one.
Whenever I miss you bad,
I walk around the park
Looking at little boys and girls
They remind me of you
There's a lot of stories I'd like to share with you
There's a lot of games, I'd like to play with you
Tears come down my face
When I think about what happened
The lawyer spoke to the judges
Told them I was not good around you
The judges gave your mother a letter.
That is keeping me away from you.
Don't worry; your are never far from me.
Inside my heart I keep a little box,
It is a box of memories I created about you.
Chorus
YOU ARE THE ONE, YOU ARE THE ONE
Till fade.
