One Love In a Lifetime
By luck you didn't see me as your bold eyes swept the room.
I stayed within the shadows as you poised to pluck a bloom.
I saw you take her hand and whirl her gaily to the floor.
I hurried to the exit, before I could see more.
Hours later when I hear you quietly insert the key,
I wonder just what story you've concocted to tell me.
I do not want to hear it, I pretend to be asleep.
What I have to say to you can until the morning keep.
One love in a lifetime is how it was meant to be.
One love in a long lifetime, enough for you and me.
One love in a long lifetime would be forever true.
One love in a lifetime proved for you to be too few.
