(Intro)
(Verse 1)
Rain falls upon a sleepy southern town
The midnight moon burning brightly
Memories rush in like a river forlorn
As you lay sleeping without me
Highway song keeps me rolling on
Still I long for you
(Chorus)
Des—demona,
I will be
Gbdim7
your only one
Oh yeah
(Verse 2)
I make my living calling out my pain
Trying to make it through another day
Arms reach for me on the wind I can feel it
They're a thousand miles away
Yours eyes remind me of everything beautiful and blue
and I won't feel myself till I'm with you
(Chorus)
Des—demona,
I will be
Gbdim7
your only one
Oh yeah

(Verse 3)
So hold a candle till the darkness fades
Night time sleeps but not for long
My heart is pounding like the ocean my soul's empty as the sky
But I know someday I'll be coming home
Time goes by in the twinkling of an eye
Still I burn for you
(Chorus)
Des—demona,
I will be
Gbdim7
your only one
Oh yeah
I just wanna be your only one
I just wanna be your only one
Your only one
