YOU WERE THE ONE

(Written by Jeff Ridler)

CHORUS

I’VE HEARD THERE’S JUST ONE TRUE LOVE OF A LIFE TIME

AND BOUT THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

I’VE HEARD THE ODDS MIGHT BE ONE IN A MILLION

AND MAYBE THEY’LL HAPPEN IN THE WRONG TIME & PLACE

THAT’S WHAT I THINK ABOUT SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE

“YOU WERE THE ONE”

VERSE 1

NOW I’M SITTIN HERE IN THE HOUSE IT’S NOT A HOME

NOT DOING ALL THAT MUCH AND I’M DOING IT ALONE

I’VE HEARD YOUR IN SEATTLE AND YOUR HAVING QUITE A TIME

BUT IF I HAD HEARD NOTHING YOU’D STILL BE ON MY MIND….

YEAH THERE’S SO MANY THINGS IN THIS LIFE THAT YOU CAN TRY

DON’T LET TRUE LOVE BE THE ONE TO PASS YOU BY…..CUZ……

(CHORUS)

VERSE 2

IT’S PLAIN YOU OWN MY HEART

AND THAT YOU ALWAY’S WILL.

BUT THIS TORTURING MY SOUL, WAS THAT PART OF THE DEAL

TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK I WOULD BATTLE SOLID STONE

GIVE ANYTHING AT ALL IF YOU WERE STILL MY OWN….

THERE’S SO MANYIN THIS LIFE THAT YOU CAN TRY

DON’T LET TRUE LOVE BE THE ONE TO PASS YOU BY

(CHORUS)

SOMETIMES THAT ALL I THINK ABOUT SINCE YOU BEEN GONE

“YOU WERE THE ONE”
