Not the Only One Lyrics

I was in a daze moving in the wrong direction
Feeling that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face on the edge of my horizon
Whispering that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one

One chance intervention
See what it can signify
The slightest misapprehension
And we'd have passed each other by

But when I heard your sweet voice darling
And saw your light come shining though
I couldn't stop my heart from turning
And churning out my love to you

I was in a daze moving in the wrong direction
Feeling that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face on the edge of my horizon
Whispering that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one

True loving perfection
It seems like it's overdue
Then just when you're least expecting
It comes sneaking up on you
For when I thought that I was dreaming
I felt your body close to mine
Now love takes on a different meaning
Together 'till the end of time

I was in a daze moving in the wrong direction
Feeling that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face through the web of my confusion
Whispering that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one
