The one

I've been staring at the sky
Stars lazily passing time
Deciphering secrets of the night
There are few things I know for sure
My love you are one.

Now I'm counting up
All my faults, a sorry for each scar
If I add, if I subtract
Put one here try & take one back
Our life was so much more than arithmetic.

When the years are showing on my face
When my strongest days are gone
When my heart and soul depart this place
From a life that sung your songs
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one --
I love.
