One That You Love
Composer(s): Graham Russell
Performer(s): Air Supply



Now the night has gone
Now the night has gone away...
Doesn't seem that long
We hardly had two words to say...
Hold me in your arms for just another day
I promise this one will go slow 
Oh...
We have the right you know
We have the right you know 

Don't say the mornings come

Don't say the mornings come so soon...
Must we end this way
When so much here is hard to lose...
Love is everywhere, I know it is
Such moments as these, are too few 
Oh...
It's all up to you 
It's all up to you...

Here I am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways, ah...
Tell me we can stay, tell me we can stay oh please...
They are the words to say
The only words I can believe
Hold me in your arms for just another day
I promise this one will go slow, oh...
We have the right you know
We have the right you know

Here I am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways
Here I am 
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways

The night has gone
A part of yesterday

I don't know what to say...
I don't know what to say...

Here I am 

The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways
Loves you in so many ways

The One Rose (That's Left In My Heart)
Composer(s): Del Lyon - Lani McIntire
Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers
and multiple other artists



So blue, so lonesome too, but still true
Rosie haunts me, makes me think of you
You're the one rose that's left in my heart, Dear
I love you, adore you, I do

Each night in dreamland we wandered along
Telling love stories anew
When from a blue sky a black cloud came rolling
Breaking my heart in two

But we vowed not to part, I have said from the start
You're the one rose that's left in my heart
Oh, we ought not to part, I have said from the start
You're the one rose that's left in my heart

The One On The Left Is On The Right
Composer(s): Jack Clement
Performer(s): Johnny Cash



There once was a musical troupe a pickin' singin' folk group
They sang the mountain ballads and the folk songs of our land
They were long on musical ability folks thought they would go far
But political incompatibility led to their downfall

Well the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear was a Methodist

This musical agregation toured the entire nation
Singing the traditional ballads and the folk songs of our land
They performed with great virtuosity and soon they were the rage
But political animosity prevailed upon the stage

Well the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license

Well the curtain had ascended a hush fell on the crowd
As thousands there were gathered to hear the folk songs of our land
But they took their politics seriously and that night at the concert hall 
As the audience watched deliriously they had a free-for-all

Well the one on the right was on the bottom
And the one in the middle was on the top
And the one on the left got a broken arm
And the guy on his rear, said, "oh dear"

Now this should be a lesson if you plan to start a folk group
Don't go mixin' politics with the folk songs of our land
Just work on harmony and diction play your banjo well
And if you have political convictions keep 'em to yourself

Now the one on the left works in a bank
And the one in the middle drives a truck
The one on the right's an all-night deejay
And the guy in the rear got drafted

The One In The Middle
Composer(s): Paul Jones 
Performer(s): Manfred Mann



Let me tell you 'bout the Manfreds 
The music that they're puttin' down 
They started to play 
On a rainy day 
And the people came from miles around 

They didn't come for the rhythm 
They didn't come for the beat 
The people of the town 
Came just to stand around 
And see the singer lookin' sweet 

Mike Hugg plays the drums, yeah 
Tom McGuiness plays the diamond bass 
But the one in the middle 
Sings "Hey diddle diddle" 
God, he's just a pretty face 

They didn't come for the rhythm 
They didn't come for the beat 
The people of the town 
Came just to stand around 
And see the singer lookin' sweet 

They couldn't have! 

Manfred Mann plays the organ 
Mike Vickers plays guitar 
& there's a geezer called Paul 
Who's so thin & so tall 
And sure wants to be a star 

They didn't come for the rhythm 
They didn't come for the beat 
The people of the town 
Came just to stand around 
And see the singer lookin' sweet 

See the singer lookin'... 
See the singer lookin'... 
See the singer lookin'... 
See the singer lookin'... 
See the singer lookin'... 
See the singer lookin'... 
Sweet  

The One I Loved Back Then (aka Corvette Song)
Performer(s): George Jones



I stopped off at the Quicksack for some beer and cigarettes
The old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette
He said, I had one just like her son, a 1963
'Til the man down at the bank took her from me

Oh She was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle Son
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

Then I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin
The old man scratched his head, then
he looked at me and grinned
He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want
It's the brunette in your 'vette that turns me on

I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle Son
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

Lord she was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle Son
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

She reminds me of the one I loved back then

The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else
Composer(s): Isham Jones - Gus Kahn
First recording/First release by: Isham Jones and His Orch. - 1923/1924
Covered by multiple other artists



The one I love belongs to somebody else
She means her tender songs for somebody else
And even when I have my arms around her
I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else
The hands I held belong to somebody else
I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The one I love belongs to somebody else
The one I love belongs to somebody else 

The One Exception
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul
Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul



When I saw you walking down the street
I said
That’s the kind of guy I’d like to meet
If I just had the chance
Maybe I could find me a little romance

So I
Went and asked you if you knew the time
(you knew the time)
Hoping that you wouldn’t see that I was just
playing for more (playing for more)
Seeing if you fit for the grand amore

I said
I don’t think I really ought to talk to you
There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
But you’re the one exception to the rule
(ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
I don’t have to go on looking anymore
There has never been a guy like you before
You’re the one exception to the rule
(ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

I was breaking a society rule (breaking a rule)
I would surely go and blow my cool
When you asked me my name (asked me my name)
I thought that I was going crazy (crazy),
I was going insane

But then
As we walked off to a small café (small café)
Just about a block or so away
I knew you were the one (you were the one)
I had a funny feeling something could have begun

I said
I don’t think I ought to talk to you
There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
But you’re the one exception to the rule
(ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
I don’t have to go on looking anymore
There has never been a guy like you before
You’re the one exception to the rule
(ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

One exception, you’re the one
exception, you’re the one
exception
One exception, you’re the one
exception, you’re the one
exception

One day we will be together
And the two of us will be forever
And we’ll both remember, won’t we?
We’ll remember won’t we?

I don’t think I really ought to talk to you
There are somethings that a girl is not meant to do
But you’re the one exception to the rule
(ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)
I don’t have to go on looking anymore
There has never been a guy like you before
You’re the one exception to the rule
(ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

You’re the…
One exception

You’re the one exception to the rule
(ooh, oooh…ooh, oooh)

Covered by multiple other artists



My baby said she's trav'ling on the one after 909 
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line 
I said move over once, move over twice 
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees 
You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me
I said move over once, move over twice 
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

I got my bag, run to the station 
Railman says you've got the the wrong location 
I got my bag, run right home 
Then I find I've got the number wrong 

Well she said she's trav'ling on the one after 909 
I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line 
I said move over once, move over twice 
Come on baby don't be cold as ice 
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0 
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0 
Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

The One
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one

There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel

For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach

The Old Water Wheel
Performer(s): Slim Whitman



By the valley road
The lilacs are growin'
Around the mill
With an old water wheel

In his dusty coat
The river sits dreamin'
Of his true love
The pretty Lucille

The old water wheel
Keeps turning and turning
It seems to seize
All the kisses it sees

On the soft summer nights
When the hearts were alive
Making love to the sound
Of the old water wheel

In her eyes of blue
True heaven made green
And her hair was brown
As the meadow lark's wing

Every smile revealed
White pearls, empty dreamin'
And nature made her lips
Just to sing

But fate was unkind
She sneaked neath the lilacs
This dizzy world
Keeps moving along

But the old river seems
To be lost in his dreams
While the water wheel turns
As it's singin' this song

Lost in the song
Of the old water wheel...

The old water wheel
The old water wheel

The Old Violin
Composer(s): Johnny Paycheck
Performer(s): Johnny Paycheck



Well, I can't recall, one time in my life
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight
I feel like I could lay down, and get up no more
It's the damndest feelin'; I never felt it before

Tonight I feel like an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say
I only wish this feelin' would just go away

I guess it's 'cos the truth
Is the hardest thing I ever faced
'Cos you can't change the truth
In the slightest way 
I tried

So I asked myself
I said: "John, where'd you go from here?"
Then like a damned fool
I turned around and looked in the mirror

And there I saw, an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again

So one more time, just to be sure
I said: "John, where in the hell do you go from here?"
You know that when a nickel's worth of difference
And I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew

That there I was seein', an old violin
Soon to be put away, and never played again

And just like that, it hit me
That old violin and I were just alike
We'd give our all to music
And soon, we'd give our life

The Old Songs
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - David Pomeranz
Performer(s): Barry Manilow; David Pomeranz; David Osborne



Candles burning, glasses are chilled and soon she'll be by 
Hope and pray she'll say that she's willing to give us another try 
And if all those plans I made don't melt the lady's heart
I'll put on the old 45's 
And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times 
Maybe the old lines will sound new 
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder 
Maybe old feelings will come through 
Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked away 
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times and make her wanna stay 
It's been too long since I've seen her face light up when I come home 
It's been too many hours I've wasted staring at the phone 
Sweet old songs I'm counting on you to bring her back to me 
I'm tired of listening alone and maybe the old songs 
Will bring back the old times 
Maybe the old lines will sound new 
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder 
Maybe old feelings will come through 
Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked away 
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times and make her wanna stay

The Old Rugged Cross 
Composer(s): George Bennard
First release by: Roy Rogers and Dale Evans - 1950	
Covered by multiple other artists



On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

The Old Refrain (What Shall Remain?)
Composer(s): Fritz Kreisler - Dorothy Fields
Performer(s): Grace Moore
and multiple other artists



I often think of home Dee-ol-ee-ay
When I am all alone and far away
I sing an old refrain, dee-ol-ee-ay
For it recalls to me a bygone day

It takes me back again to meadows fair
Where sunlight's golden rays beam everywhere
My childhood joys again come back to me
My mother's face in fancy too I see

It was my mother taught me how to sing
And to that memory my heart will cling
I'm never sad and alone while on my way
As long as I can sing Dee-ol-ee-ay

Though years have passed and gone, dee-ol-ee-ay
And though my heart is young my head is grey
Yet still the echoes ring, dee-ol-ee-ay
And dear old memories forever stay

This song will bring me visions full of light
And sweetest dreams throughout the darkest night
Of all that life can give, that song is best
I'll take it with me when I go to rest

And when at last my journey here is o'er
'Twill ring more joyfully than e'er before
For up to heavens I will take my lay
The angels, too, will sing dee-ol-ee-ay

I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again
The Old Piano Roll Blues
We're sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me
Pushin' on the pedals makin' sweet harmony
When we hear rinkety-tink, and we hear Plinkety-plink

But We, Played the Piano Roll Blues
We sat there and began to play
My sweetie and me
We sat there pushing on the pedals making sweet harmony

Cuddle closer it seems
Its like a dreamin while we kiss kiss kiss away all our cares

The Old Music Master
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Hoagy Carmichael
Performer(s): Hoagy Carmichael
and multiple other artists



One night long ago by the light of the moon
An old music master sat composing a tune
His spirit was soaring and his heart full of joy
When right out of nowhere stepped a little coloured boy
You gotta jump it, music master
You gotta play that rhythm faster
You're never gonna get it played
On the Happy Cat Hit Parade
You better tell your friend Beethoven
And Mister Reginald De Koven
They better do the same as you
Or they're gonna be corny too
Long about nineteen seventeen
Jazz'll come upon the scene
Then about nineteen thirty-five
You'll begin to hear swing
Boogie Woogie and Jive
You gotta show that big broadcaster
That you're a solid music master
And you'll achieve posterity
That's a bit of advice from me
The old music master simply sat there amazed
As wide-eyed and open-mouthed he gazed and he gazed
How can you be certain little boy, tell me how?
Because I was born, my friend
A hundred years from now
He hit a chord that rocked the spinet
And disappeared into the infinite
And up until the present day
You can take it from me
He's as right as can be
Ev'rything has happened that-a-way

The Old Master Painter
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



That old master painter from the faraway hills
painted the violets and the daffodills
He put the purple in the twilight haze
then did a rainbow for the rainy days
Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies
painted the devil in my darlin's eyes
Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills
The old master painter from the faraway hills
Then came his masterpiece and when he was through
He smiled down from heaven and he gave me you
What a beautiful job on that wonderful day
That old master painter from the hills far away

Old Man Of The Mountain
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Victor Young
Performer(s): Cab Calloway & His Orch.
and multiple other artists



With his long white beard and his crooked step
He tramps along with the folks all left (?)
With a twinkle in his eye he passes them by
The old man of the mountain

He wears long hair but his feet are bare
They say he's mad as an old march hare
His cares are none and he owes no one
The old man of the mountain

He talks with the birds when he's lonely
Sleeps with the stars for a tent
While the bees spread a feast when he's hungry
And God charges no rent

He'll live as long as an old oak tree
And laugh at fools like you and me
I often sigh and wish that I were
The old man of the mountain

With a long, white beard and a crooked stare
He tramps along with the folks all scared
With a twinkle in his eye, he passes them by 
The Old Man of the Mountain! 
Oh, he wears long hair and his feet are bare
They say he's mad as a grizzly bear
His cares are none and he fears no one
The Old Man of the Mountain!
He talks with the bears when he's lonely
He sleeps with the sky for a tent
And he'll eat you up when he's hungry 
And it wouldn't cost him a red cent! 
And he'll live as long as an old oak tree 
He'll eat up fools like you and me
Oh, I often sigh and jump and cry 
At the Old Man of the Mountain!
