"One and Only"

One and Only”

Greg Wells, Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, Daniel Dodd Wilson

From the album, Adele 21, 2011.

 

Sometimes we need a little boost,

A gentle nudge,

When February’s chilled spirits

Seem not to budge,

It’s time to turn on to a tune

That is winter sad,

Yet brings us out of all its gloom,

Feel alive and glad.

 

“One and Only”

You've been on my mind

I grow fonder every day

Lose myself in time

Just thinking of your face

God only knows

Why it's taken me so long

To let my doubts go

You're the only one that I wanted

I don't know why I'm scared

Cos I've been here before

With every feeling, every word

I've imagined it all

You'll never know, if you never try

To forgive your past, and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be, your

Your one and only

I promise I'm worthy

To hold in your arms

So come on

And give me the chance

To prove I am the one who can

Walk that mile

Until the end starts

If I've been on your mind

Do you hang on every word I say

Lose yourself in time

At the mention of my name

Will I ever know

How it feels to hold you close

And have you tell me

Whichever road I choose you'll go

I don't know why I'm scared

Cos we've been here before

With every feeling every word

I've imagined it all

You'll never know

If you never try

To forgive my past

And simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your

Your one and only

I promise I'm worth it

To hold in your arms

So come on

And give me a chance

To prove I am the one who can

Walk that mile
