Story Behind The Song
Had a heartbreak that inspired almost an entire album full of music in the early 80s. This was one of the best tunes that came from that era. It has had some reworking and fresh lyrical content added in 2009. It speaks for itself in the genuine emotions that it brings up. We've probably all been there at one time or another.

Fools sometimes come to their senses. This song reflects one man's pain when he realizes that he once held the best woman he'll ever know. He wants her back and beckons to her with all the passion and remorse in his heart.

Lyrics
There's Only One Woman
(Words and music by Doug Gazlay)
(Copyright 1985, 2009 Doug Gazlay)
At times I wonder if I'll ever find another
Who can make me feel the way you made me feel
Been running 'round here like a ship without a sail
Driftin' near the rocks to find love that's real
When you were here, I had no fear
There was life in my eyes, but now that you're gone I realize
There's only one woman who can brighten up my day
There's only one lady who can take this pain away
If you were with me, I'm sure you'd see
a welcome change inside
I've played a fool, broken ev'ry rule
I let you down, but now I've found
There's only one woman who can melt this frozen heart
There's only one lady who can bring a fresh new start
Maybe you and I could give it one more try
'cause for me, there's only one woman
Love was just a game, and I've played all my aces
And against the odds- lost time and time again.
A heart that's slow to tame, I've seen a lot of faces
But I've hit the wall, and can't tell where I've been
When you were here, it seemed so clear
There was peace in my heart, but now that you're gone I'm torn apart
There's only one woman who can brighten up my day
There's only one lady who can take this pain away
If you were with me, I'm sure you'd see
A welcome change inside
I played a fool, broken ev'ry rule
I let you down, but now I've found
There's only one woman who can melt this frozen heart
There's only one lady who can bring a fresh new start
Maybe you and I could give it one more try
'cause for me, there's only one woman
There's only one girl I should have stayed with from the start
Maybe you and I could give it one more try
'cause for me, there's only one woman
There's only one woman
