Lyrics
The One
You could have been most anyone
But I know you're the one, the only one
And on the day it went to far
No sign at all no warning when you walked in
You found me where I'd been for hours
All alone, not lonely
You could have been
You could have been most anyone
You hurried by
I wonder why you never said you were the one
You could have been
You could have been most anyone
But you're the one who got inside my head...
What next to do?
I watch you slowly turn around
Look you over, stranger so familiar
Everyone I'd met was like someone I knew before
Everyone but you diffused, descending
You could have been
You could have been most anyone
You hurried by
I wonder why you never said you were the one
You could have been
You could have been most anyone
But you're the one, the only one for me
I can't believe that this is happening the way they said it would
I can't believe, I can't believe
I can't believe that this is happening the way they said it could
I can't believe that this is, this me
I feel you breathe, and I remember
And I believe everything about you makes me wonder
You could have been
You could have been most anyone but
You hurried by
I wonder why you never said you were the one
You could have been
You could have been most anyone but
You could have been most anyone but
I can't believe this is happening to me
You're the only one I feel, the one I see
I can't believe what I start to see in me
You are sure as that the only one, the only one.
