You Could Be The One

YOU COULD BE THE ONE

I wonder now what I was waiting for

Why it was so hard to believe

That fate already’d opened up the door

It took so long for me to see

Convinced myself this good thing as far too good to last

Kept thinking that my future was living in your past

Afraid to get my hopes up and scared of what might come

So I lived every moment like it might be the last one

You could be the one that I’m meant to be with

Baby come what may

You could be the one I’m meant to spend my life with

Day by day by day

We were sitting on the front porch swinging

Jack and Dianne playing on the radio

When she took my hand in hers

And said “Baby there’s something I’ve got to know”

I feel like these affections grow stronger every day

Our friends are asking questions and I don’t know what to say

Tell me your intentions cause I can’t read your mind

Are you thinking about forever or just one day at a time

You could be the one that I was meant to be with

Baby come what may

You could be the one I’m meant to share my life with

Day by day by day

I stopped the swing and squeezed her hand

Turned and looked into her eyes

Dropped all my usual defenses

Felt my pulse start to rise

Told her I could take forever and I could never find

Someone as perfect for me - there’s no doubt in my mind

These past few years together have been a lot of fun

But they’re only just a shadow of the good things yet to come

You could be the one that I was meant to be with

Baby come what may

You could be the one I’m meant to share my life with

Day by day by day
