Clark, Terri - The One Lyrics






I hear the whispers as I walk by
They always start with bless her heart
She’s still single and that’s such an empty life
She must not be lookin’ all that hard
They’ve all got their stories of why I’m still alone
But the only truth that matters is my own

I want fireworks to paint the sky
A kiss to burn my lips
I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart down to my fingertips
And twenty years from now it still won’t be as good as it will get
It might be a lot to ask for but I won’t take any less
Just because I won’t settle don’t mean I won’t settle down
I don’t need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can’t live without

Momma’s always getting on me
She says I don’t give anyone a chance
But if I can’t feel the music when somebody holds me
How am I supposed to dance
There might be a few more lonely nights
But I’m not keeping score
It’s worth the wait for what I’m waitin’ for

Fireworks to paint the sky
A kiss to burn my lips
I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart down to my fingertips
And twenty years from now it still won’t be as good as it will get
It might be a lot to ask for but I won’t take any less
Just because I won’t settle don’t mean I won’t settle down
I don’t need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can’t live without

And just because I won’t settle don’t mean I won’t settle down
I don’t need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can’t live without
No I can’t live without

  6. j.... ....

    Michael, I know what you mean and I'm so fortunate that at 62 I found that person almost 2 years ago and they still take my breath away....It doesn't matter what age you are when you find that person....you'll know when it hits you....

  7. D.... ....

    Love that there are lyrics included for people like me to follow along. More videos on here should be captioned or subtitled (and not the auto captions as they are crap.)

    Thank you very much for doing this.

    Beautiful song :-)

    this song is exactly how i feel but my dad is the one that tells me i picky instead.

  9. C.... H....

    '"Mommas always getting on me, she says I don't give anyone a chance.. But when I don't feel the music when somebody holds me, how am I supposed to dance?" EXACTLY. My mom is always like well he seems like a nice boy, he seems this.. what about him you don't have to love him you know... grr.. I'm not settling!

    I sit here listening to this song I love it . I my self want fireworks and butterfly's to . Sometimes you think there is such a thing like a fairy tale ending . But I have kissed enough frogs but never my prince. Terri Clark you make some awesome songs and music. Love this one some how i can relate to this one .

  11. J.... S....

    i like this song because it describes my life

    J.... S....

    Jennifer Stout Mine, too. It's hard waiting but worth waiting for.

  12. r.... ....

    this is one of my alltime favs ! you should never settle for less when you can have the best

  13. b.... ....

    I will find a love like this one day, if he was the one, he wouldn't of broken my heart. <3

  14. d.... ....

    @mp2424 I totally agree with you, thats the one I'm waiting for!!!!!!

  15. M.... P....

    I look below here and all I see are comments from women... where are you? The hopeless romantics, the dreamers. Dont you want a love that takes your breath away? To truely live the phrase "life is not about the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away"? I hope I find somebody again.... I really want that- and yes; ITS WORTH WAITING FOR!!!

  16. M.... P....

    Wow...I am speachless. After 15 years of marriage hoping for this I dont understand. Why does it seem I'm still the only one who gets this? I want fireworks, butterflies and those moments where you look back and think "man I really lived" vs. just survived. I shared my life and my hopes and dreams with someone. We valued eachother, sacrificed for eachother and dared to dream together and share ourselves.

    M.... P....

    Michael Price You are not the only one who feels this way. I will no longer settle for less than this and I will wait as long as I need to.

  17. P.... M....

    WAOW - Nice song - love it.
