The One I Want
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.
I hear it's sad
I know it ain't
Ain't easy
To love someone
But he is the one I want
My love I see in front of me
The hero and the falling man
But he is the one I want
Oh, can we forget yesterday
He has passed out on the bed
With tears in his eyes
He was lost but I have found
He's deeper than the ocean
Higher than the rain
Let me walk beside you now
Oh I will never leave you in so much pain
A lover and a fighter
He was the best I ever had
He is the one I want
Come lay your head upon my heart
Go easy on me
I know that I am the one you want
Oh, can we forget yesterday
Throw me right down on the bed
We can forget it all
He was lost but I have found
He's deeper than the ocean
Higher than the rain
Let me walk beside you now
Oh I will never leave you in so much pain
