The Only One

I’m up late once again my dear
and I’m wishing that you were here
so I could lay my head on you
and finally fall fast asleep

You’re the one I need
you bring me peace
the only one 
to put my mind at ease

I can’t relax
I’m nervous too
all I want
is to be with you

You’re the one I need
you bring me peace
the only one
to put my mind at ease

I’m awake worrying
and the time is dragging on
Sleeplessness is hurrying in
Soon I’ll see the rising sun

You’re the one I need
you bring me peace
the only one 
to put my mind at ease
