You, My Only One

You, My Only One - Paul Michel

The first time i met you

I swore that i could leave you

Whenever i tried

I swore that this meant nothing at all at best

You were a dying flame

The second time we kissed oh i was shattered

Left in a confused heap on the floor

Lord help me i was wounded

You led me astray and then brought me back home

I know i was lonely but

It was never why i stayed

Looking back i shake my head

In utter confusion

Two years later i'm still here

And you my only one

And you my only one

I wake up each morning early with you asleep

And stumble around the bed

I try not to wake you while making my coffee

I smile as i trip on your dress

And love this is so mundane

But lord it makes me weak

Chorus

Later in life as i cry by your bedside

Holding your hand while your sun slowly sets

I remember the life we led oh through the darkness

Fumbling around like inept innocents

And though you may leave me now

I cannot help but think

Though this life is short and sad

And ever creeping by

As long as i'm in love with you

You cannot ever die

You cannot ever die
