Lyrics You're the One - Lena Horne

You're the One

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
