You Could Be the One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you say you had to leave?
(Can you stay the night with me?)
Is that the way it has to be?
How I hate to see you go
(How I hate to see you go)
But it's okay because I know

[Chorus]
You could be the one I waited for
You could be the one that opens up the door
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one to share my nights
You could be the one that brightens up my life
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one

[Verse 2]
Every night I wish upon a star
(Only wanna be with you)
Just wanna be everywhere you are
My body's callin' out your name
(My body's callin' out your name)
Girl, tell me that you feel the same
[Chorus]
You could be the one I waited for
You could be the one that opens up the door
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one to share my nights
You could be the one that brightens up my life
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one

[Bridge]
I waited like forever
Thought I'd find you never
I just might be done
Think I found the one
Hey hey, oh

[Chorus]
You could be the one I waited for
You could be the one that opens up the door
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one to share my nights
You could be the one that brightens up my life
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one I waited for
You could be the one that opens up the door
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one to share my nights
You could be the one that brightens up my life
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one

You could be the one I waited for
You could be the one that opens up the door
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one
You could be the one to share my nights
You could be the one that brightens up my life
You could be the one I run to
You could be the one

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
