You're the One - Lena Horne

Painters

have tried to capture you

on canvas

fools

poets

have tried to sum you up

in a word

why can’t they reach

a conclusion

their confusion

is absurd

you’re the one

out of many

who could make me believe

that there’s anyone

who could ever receive

my love and devotion

I’ve a notion

you’re life’s reward

you’re the boy

that I dream of

and your face

is the start of my

scheme of things

not to love you my sweet

would be my undoing

drive me to ruin

and wreck

I’ve watched you

from afar

and I’ve made

up my mind

you’re my permanent star

and your bright light

has got me blind

I’m just one

out of many

who can hope

lady luck

will be kind to me

I’m a dope

maybe so

but let me take you

let me make

you mine

I’ve watched you from afar

and I’ve made up my mind

you’re my permanent star

and your bright light

has got me blind

I’m just one

out of many

who can hope

lady luck

will be kind to me

I’m a dope

maybe so

but let me take you

let me make you

mine
