I'm not the only one to find it hard to put in words how I feel
And songs would grow on trees, if it was easy
I'm not one for long good byes
But I suppose that I could try
Chorus :
If it all goes south
And my time runs out
You'll still be the one, my only one
Never thought I'd throw my hat back in the ring
For one last fling after her
You never know when loves just round the corner
I never knew ’til i found you
That I could have a dream come true
Chorus :
If it all goes south
And my time runs out
You'll still be the one, my only one
I'm not counting chickens here, I'm not making hay
I won't let the grass grow under my feet
I won't waste the day
So take your time, breathe in deep before I lay down
One more time to sleep
Tell me that you won't be far behind me
And I will see your smiling face
Far away in another place
Chorus :
If it all goes south
And my time runs out
You'll still be the one, my only one
