One and Only
A Quest for Love's Embrace in Burton Cummings' Melodic Tapestry
Lyrics
Don't want much,
Expressing a desire for simplicity or modesty in desires.
Just a hand to hold to give me grace growin' old as I slow down
Seeking companionship and support while aging and slowing down in life.
Midnight touch
Desiring a comforting connection, possibly during the midnight hours.
To say "You'll be all right, you're gonna make it through the night for the go-round."
Longing for reassurance and encouragement to overcome challenges.
Watchin' what you've been doin'
Observing someone's actions and drawing connections to a past relationship.
Reminding me of that lady I once knew
Nostalgically recalling a woman from the past who left an impression.
I'm lookin' for a lover that's worth pursuin'
Actively searching for a meaningful romantic partner.
Honey could it be you? Could it be you?
Pondering if the person being addressed could be the sought-after lover.
Darlin, darlin', darlin, darlin, a little closer
Expressing a strong emotional connection and the need for closeness.
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
Conveying feelings of loneliness, seeking attention and understanding.
Oh my lover, lover, please discover, a little bit more
Encouraging the partner to reveal more about themselves.
You might be my one and only
Expressing the possibility of the addressed person being the only true love.
Don't ask much
Reiterating a desire for simplicity in expectations from a relationship.
Just a hand to hold and understand growin' old as I slow on down
Emphasizing the need for companionship and understanding during aging.
Midnight touch
Desiring a comforting touch during the nighttime difficulties.
To say "You'll be all right, you're gonna make it through the night for another round."
Seeking reassurance and support to face challenges for another round of life.
Thinkin' 'bout things you been sayin'
Reflecting on the words spoken by the person of interest.
Reminding me of that lady I once knew
Recalling memories of a past relationship triggered by the current situation.
I'm lookin' for a lover that's worth pursuin'
Continuing the search for a worthwhile romantic partner.
Honey could it be you? Could it be you?
Posing the question of whether the addressed person could be the sought-after lover.
Darlin, darlin', darlin, darlin, a little closer
Reiterating the desire for closeness and intimacy.
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
Reiterating feelings of loneliness and the need for companionship.
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Intensifying the expression of loneliness through repetition.
Oh my lover, lover, please discover, a little bit more
Encouraging the partner to reveal more about themselves for a deeper connection.
You might be my one and only
Suggesting that the addressed person might be the one and only true love.
