The Only One

(album: BOOTCUT - 2023)

Starting out, I had no idea
No idea how this would end
To know I'd meet the woman of my dreams
But fall in love with her best friend

Lord knows we all make mistakes
And I'll admit, I've made a few
But every twist and turn along the way
Only lead me here to you

You know that's true, yes you do
In all I do, always do for you, always be true

Years passed by and, yes, time moved on
And as my hair began to grey
Life got harder as it does for us all
And I swear she never aged a day

Our family grew and she was all alone
I was working most all the time
Told myself that we were doing fine
I only told myself a lie

Always moving and she got no rest
She seemed to shoulder any load
Loving me could be no easy test
When the rubber meets the road

What happened next, no one could know
Some say it wasn't meant to be
To go back to where it all began
And live our life out by the sea

You know that's true, yes you do
In all I do, always stand by you, always be true

Anyone here can see my face
Anyone can hear me sing
She's the only one that holds my heart
The only one who wears my ring
