To Be The One - Melanie

The song that kills me is playing lowly

Plays in my heart when you turn to go

Lights dim to black

Lets light candles only

It’s only me in an afterglow

But to be the one

You turn to in the night

To be the one

Riding your shadow light

To be the one

I would believe again

To be the one

I would give anything

I remember a dawn coming through the window

And the black lines of a window frame

And you riding toward the old inn doorway

Leading to no more remembering

But to be the one

Right in this hear and now

To be the one

Who could live in your heart

To be the one

It would be real to dream

To be the one

I would give anything

It’s my heart in these words

And there’s truth in forever

Forever I’ll love you

Beyond my time

The body of the song it goes on a journey

Only the singer can breathe it to life

But to be the one

Sharing your life and breath

To be the one

Filling your emptiness

One leap toward heaven

Please be my song to sing

To be the one

I would give anything

To be the one

Sharing your life and breath

To be the one

Filling your emptiness

One leap toward heaven

Please be my song

To be the one

I would give anything
