Lyrics
“Only”
Capers Simmons
VERSE I
Although I may have two eyes, one TV set will do
I don’t need eight hundred channels – I can’t even watch two
I only need one car because there’s only one me
And I can’t be in two places, no matter how much I speed
PRECHORUS I
Sometime one is all you need
Though sometimes just enough don’t look like much to me
CHORUS
But I only have one soul and so I only need one home
I don’t need a house in the mountains, one by the ocean, and in the forest
I only have one heart – you know that heart is always true
I don’t need any other person for I only need you
VERSE II
There’s only one great ocean, though men gave her ten names
There’s only one great Heaven, but men made Hell just the same
There’s only great Reason why we live and we die
But I am only human, and I can’t tell you why
PRECHORUS II
But sometimes one is far too much
And sometimes everything isn’t nearly enough
~ CHORUS ~
BRIDGE
God only gave one sun and moon in the sky
And, though he made ten thousand stars, he only gave us one night
We only have one chance and we have only one life
So don’t take it for granted, now, and do live it right
CHORUS
I only have one answer and you already know
I don’t need a hundred million dollars, European sports cars, or a famous sweetheart
I only made one promise and that promise I’ll keep
For you are the only other person I need.
