Lyrics
To Be 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.
The song that kills me is playing lowly
Plays in my heart when you turn to go
Lights dim to black
Lets light candles only
It's only me in an afterglow
But to be the one
You turn to in the night
To be the one
Riding your shadow light
To be the one
I would believe again
To be the one
I would give anything
I remember a dawn coming through the window
And the black lines of a window frame
And you riding toward the old inn doorway
Leading to no more remembering
But to be the one
Right in this hear and now
To be the one
Who could live in your heart
To be the one
It would be real to dream
To be the one
I would give anything
It's my heart in these words
And there's truth in forever
Forever I'll love you
Beyond my time
The body of the song it goes on a journey
Only the singer can breathe it to life
But to be the one
Sharing your life and breath
To be the one
Filling your emptiness
One leap toward heaven
Please be my song to sing
To be the one
I would give anything
To be the one
Sharing your life and breath
To be the one
Filling your emptiness
One leap toward heaven
Please be my song
To be the one
I would give anything
