Lyrics
Many’s the time I have looked in the water
And had no reflection to show
Oh, and many’s the time
I have stood at the crossroads
Not knowing which way to go.
Many’s the time someone lay close beside me
And I don’t remember her name
They’ll say that I’m just a smile and a moment
But that was before you came.
You’re the one in a million
You’re the one, you’re the one
You’re the one in a million I see
You’re the one in a million
You’re the one, you’re the one
You’re the one in a million for me.
Now all of the others were places to go to
When I had nowhere to sleep
Well, I never made any promises to them
None they’d expect me to keep.
You’re the one in a million
You’re the one, you’re the one
You’re the one in a million I see
You’re the one in a million
You’re the one, you’re the one
You’re the one in a million for me.
