I've been staring at the sky tonight,
Marvelling and passing time,
Wondering what to do with daylight,
Until I can make you mine.

You are the one I want,
You are the one I want.

I've been thinking of changing my mind,
It never stays the same for long,
But of all the things I know for sure,
You're the only certain one.

You are the one I want,
You are the one I want.

I've been counting up all my wrongs,
One 'sorry' for each star,
See, I'd apologise my way to you,
If the heavens stretched that far.

'Cause you are the one I want,
You are the one I want,

I won't find what I am looking for,
If I only see by keeping score,
'Cause I know now you're so much more than arithmetic.
'Cause if I add, if I subtract,
If I give it all, try to take some back,
I've forgotten the freedom,
That comes from the fact that you are the sum,
So you are the one I want.

When the years are showing on my face,
And my strongest days are gone,
When my heart and flesh depart this place,
From a life that sung your song.

You'll still be the one I want,
You'll still be the one I want,
You'll still be the one I want,
You'll still be the one I want.
