“MY ONE AND ONLY” Slow Reggae Love Song — Lovers Rock / Soul Reggae Tempo: ~72 BPM [Intro] Ooh, yeah… Mmm-mm… Girl, after all this time… It’s still you… Always been you… [Verse 1] I remember when you walked into my life, Something in my heart just came alive. Wasn’t looking for forever back then, But somehow you became my lover and my best friend. We’ve seen sunshine, we’ve danced through rain, Held each other through the joy and pain. And if I had one more life to live, Girl, every piece of my heart is yours to give. [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause when the whole world gets too loud, You’re the peace that I have found. And when the years start passing by, I’ll still be right here by your side. [Chorus] You’re my one and only, My love, my lady, my home. When you put your arms around me, I know I’m never alone. Let the whole world keep on turning, Let the years come and go. I’ll still wake up every morning Thanking God for your soul. You’re my one and only… The woman that I love. And if forever ain’t enough, girl, Then forever ain’t long enough. [Verse 2] I know we ain’t always got it right, We’ve had some long days, we’ve had some long nights. Said some things that we didn’t mean, But love kept pulling us back in between. You’ve seen the best and worst of me, Still somehow saw the man that I could be. And there ain’t another woman on this earth Who could ever take your place or know your worth. [Pre-Chorus] So put your hand right here in mine, Like you did the very first time. We may be older, but girl, I swear, I still get lost when I see you standing there. [Chorus] You’re my one and only, My love, my lady, my home. When you put your arms around me, I know I’m never alone. Let the whole world keep on turning, Let the years come and go. I’ll still wake up every morning Thanking God for your soul. You’re my one and only… The woman that I love. And if forever ain’t enough, girl, Then forever ain’t long enough. [Bridge — Strip the beat down] If my hair turns grey, And my hands get old, I’ll still reach for you Like I did years ago. And when our steps get slow, Put your head against my chest. We’ll sway to that reggae nice and slow, Just like when we first met. No diamonds could replace you, No money could compare. I don’t need another lifetime If you’re not waiting there. [Reggae Guitar/Sax Break] Ohhh… my baby… Yeah, yeah… Still you… It’s always gonna be you… [Final Chorus] You’re my one and only, My love, my lady, my home. After everything we’ve been through, You’re still the one I want. Let the whole world keep on turning, Let the years come and go. I’ll still kiss you every morning And never let you go. You’re my one and only, Until my final day. And if there’s another life beyond this one, Girl, I’ll find you anyway. [Outro] Slow dance with me, baby… Come a little closer… Yeah… From the first time I loved you Till the last breath I breathe… There’ll never be another. My one… My only… My everything. It’s you, baby… Always you.
