One & Only Lyrics
Oliver Tree
Lyrics
True love is hard to find
I need you by my side
'Cause everything's alright when I hold you through the night
You caught me by surprise
I was searching my whole life
Let's give it a try
I realize I don't want to wait
I know that that's a lot to say
I'm grateful that we're not alone
I know you're busy every day, I need you with me anyway
I wonder, how far can we go?
I'll love you 'til I don't exist here anymore
You're what I'm looking for
We can make it work for sure
I'll love you 'til I don't exist here anymore
You're my one and only
You make me feel less lonely
Every time you hold me
You got my heart exploding
You're my one and only
I realize I don't want to wait
I know that that's a lot to say
I'm grateful that we're not alone
I know you're busy every day, I need you with me anyway
I wonder, how far can we go?
I'll love you 'til I don't exist here anymore
You're what I'm looking for
We can make it work for sure
I'll love you 'til I don't exist here anymore
You're my one and only
