The Right One

Please forgive me

I’ve been hurt too much before

I just couldn’t stand the feeling

Of that pain anymore

I know you’ve been so kind

But I can’t get it out of my mind

What I’ve been through

I don’t know what to do

Please let me 

Forget my awful past

I just want our love

To last and last

I am not one to take chances

I’ve forgotten what romance is

My life’s all new

Still, I don’t know what to do 

I want to be free

Free from worry and fear 

Filled with courage and strength

Knowing you’re always near

I want to be sure

Sure that you’ll always be by my side

I hope that you are the right one

My arms are open wide

So, here I stand

Like so long ago

Wondering how you feel

Wondering if you know

That my love for you

Could never be stronger

Hold me now

Hold me a little longer

I want to be free

Free from worry and fear

Filled with courage and strength

Knowing you’re always near

I want to be sure

Sure that you’ll always be by my side

I know that you are the right one

My arms are open wide.
