"You're The One" lyrics

"You're The One"

I knew you were the one, were my one and only
And I knew that you would always know me
'Cause you were the one who kept me from feeling
So sad and lonely in my life and
I never knew life could be so wonderful
That there could be someone who was so beautiful
And I never knew that I could be so free
To love someone like you and

I wanna love you forever
And I'll be with you worse and for better
And I never thought I'd fall
But you're the one

I thought my life was drawn in shades of gray and
That was how I would live my every day and
Aimless, no direction found
My destiny was going through the motions of a life and
Then you came along with your sweet, sweet smile and
Then you put your cheek right next to mine and
All those shades of gray slowly turned into a
New technicolor world and

I'm gonna love you forever
And I'll be with you worse and for better
And I never thought I'd fall

And I'm gonna love you forever
And I'll be with you worse and for better
And I never thought I'd fall
But you're the one

You're the one
Your smile contains the sun
Rays of glory
You're the one
