I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight

Until I can make you mine
You are the one I want, you are the one I want


I've been thinking of changing my mind
It never stays the same for long
But of all the things I know for sure

You're the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want


I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you

If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want


[Chorus]
I won't find what I am looking for
If I only "see" by keeping score

'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'Cos if I add, if I subtract

If I give it all, try to take some back
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum

So you are the one
I want


When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place

From a life that sung your song

You'll still be the one I want


You'll still be the one I want


You'll still be the one I want

You'll still be the one I want
