Words and music by John Kay 





Dry your eyes, come sit close to me

Lay your head on my aching chest

And let me try to console and comfort you

It's my fault, I can do no less



All night long we've been talkin' 'bout

All the time that my work will take

But all is know is , I work for two

And if music ain't my life

It's still the living I make

So lie here tonight in the shelter of my arms

Nothing will ever take your place



You're the only one that knows me

You're the only one I trust

You're the only one that matters in my life

You're the only one I lean on

You're the only one I need

You're the only one that's ever been enough

Oh, you're the only one I ever loved



Soon I'll go back to battle

And soon I'll wear the right face for the part

But when it's over I'm coming back to you girl

For you're the only one that knows me by heart

So lie here tonight in the shelter of my arms

Nothing will ever take your place



You're the only one that knows me

You're the only one I trust

You're the only one that matters in my life

You're the only one I lean on

You're the only one I need

You're the only one that's ever been enough

Oh, you're the only one I ever loved



For all those days you lived alone

And all those nights when you were left behind

And all those times you felt left out

I can't repay but to make these moments count

So lie here tonight in the shelter of my arms

Nothing will ever take your place



You're the only one that knows me

You're the only one I trust

You're the only one that matters in my life

You're the only one I lean on

You're the only one I need

You're the only one that's ever been enough

Oh, you're the only one I ever loved
