The One Lyrics - Roots & Wings - Terri Clark

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 looking 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 waiting for 

Fireworks to paint the sky 

A kiss to burn my lips 

I wanna feel the flesh 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 

Oh, I can't live without
