You Are the One I Want

I’ve been staring at the sky tonight
marveling 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 apologize my way to you
if the heavens stretched that far.
Cuz you are the one I want.
You are the one I want.
I won’t find what I am looking for
if I only see ‘bout keeping score.
Cuz I know now you are so much more than arithmetic.
Cuz 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 Son

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.
