O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall ransom captive Israel

One Fine Day

One fine day
You'll look at me
And you will know our love was
Meant to be

One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

The arms I long for
Will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me
Right by your side

One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

One fine day...

One Love

One love in my young life
Took me somewhere I had never been
And I want to live again, breathe again
In the shelter of his brightly woven love song
So long I have wanted love to be
Sitting just this near to me
Now my waiting heart is free

(*) Few are the choices we are given
The sands of time pass quickly by
One dream of my young life
Now stands holding out his hand to me
Now I can't help but believe that my whole life will be
Spent in one love

Repeat (*)

Spent in one love
Spent in one love

One More Time

I'm going way down south to Louisiana
Well, I'll just close my eyes
And everything's alright
And though I'm really far away
I'll make my get away
And no one need really
Know that I've been gone

One more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all we had
I'm going way down south to Baton Rouge
Well, I'll just close the door
And turn out all the lights
And all the images dance by
Of folks and friends who lie
Back home where things are slow
And easy going

One more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all
When love was all
When love was all we had
One more time

Only Yesterday

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do

Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light
Filling the world surrounding me
When I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe, things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me

Free as a song, singin' forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Sinc I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday

I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us, share it with me
The best is about to be
So much is left for us to see
When I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe, things will be all right

Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Sinc I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday

Ordinary Fool

Only a fool
Like fools before me
I always think with my heart
Only a fool
That same old story
Seems I was born for the part
It's a lesson to be learned
And a page I should have turned
I shouldn't cry but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When his ordinary dreams fall through

How many times
Have I mistaken
Good looks and laughs for bad news?
And how many times
Have I mistaken
Good looks and laughs for the blues?
When a road I walked before
Ends alone at my front door
I shouldn't cry but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When his ordinary dreams fall through

When a road I walked before
Ends alone at my front door
I shouldn't cry but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When his ordinary dreams fall through
