One By One Lyrics - Billy Bragg

One by one the teardrops fall as I write to you 

One by one my words come falling on the page 

One by one my dreams are fading in the twilight 

One by one my schemes are failing fast away 

One by one the flowers fade here in my garden 

One by one the leaves are falling from the trees 

One by one my hopes are vanished in the clouds dear 

One by one like snowflakes melting in the breeze 

One by one my hair is turning gray 

One by one my dreams are fading fast away 

One by one I ready your letters over 

One by one I lay them all away 

One by one the days are slipping up behind you 

One by one the sweetest days of life go by 

One by one the moments stealing up behind you 

One by one she'll come and find not you or I 

One by one I hear the soft words that you whispered 

One by one I feel your kisses soft and sweet 

One by one I hope you'll say the words to marry 

One by one to one by one forever be
