Maxi Priest - The One

The minute I saw you
I wanted to hold you
But I kept it inside and my foolish pride
I wish that I'd told you

Why can't you be mine
And spend all of my time
I've so much to give and one life to live
I can't be without you

If only I could be the one
To love you forever
If only I could be the one
To cherish forever

Don't know if we're coming or going
I just don't know what to do
And so scared to walk away without knowing, ooh

What can I tell you
I just can't ignore you
Could I be the one, just let me be the one
Someone you can run to, ooh

If only I could be the one
To love you forever
If only I could be the one
To cherish forever

Too many words left unspoken, spoken
Girl, I promise you your heart won't be broken no, no
If you're looking for some love and affection
Then you're looking in the right direction

(I wanna cherish you) Cherish you, baby
(Cherish you, anyway you want me to)
(Cherish you) Cherish you, darling
(Cherish you, for the rest of my life)
(I wanna cherish you) Cherish you, baby
(Cherish you, anyway you want me to) Ooh yes I will
(Cherish you) Cherish you, darling
(Cherish you, for the rest of my life) Hey

If only I could be the one
To love you forever
If only I could be the one
To cherish forever

Cherish you, ooh baby
Cherish you, for the rest of my life
Cherish you, ooh baby
Cherish you, oh

If only I could be the one
To love you forever
If only I could be the one
To cherish forever

Only I could be the one
