The Only One

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 as time moved on And as my hair began to gray 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
