Only One You
Capturing the Essence of a Thousand Sunsets: Dallas Smith's 'Only One You'
Lyrics
There you are, there you go
Referring to the presence of someone special.
Tossing that hair back like only you did
Describing a distinctive and familiar gesture of tossing hair.
Dancing around that summer fire
Depicting a joyful and carefree moment around a summer fire.
Like another one of me, like only you did
Comparing the person's actions to a unique and irreplaceable quality.
Something like this comes along you better hold on tight
Expressing the rarity of such moments and the importance of cherishing them.
So I am tonight
Committing to holding on tightly to the special connection or moment.
'Cause I've seen a thousand sunsets
Comparing various beautiful experiences to emphasize the uniqueness of the person.
And damn they were beautiful
-Heard a hundred pretty songs on the radio
-Can't count the times I've been awestruck, taken back
-None of that baby even comes close to
-The danger in your blue eyes
-The truth in your three words
-That makes this man come unloose
-There's only one you
Affirming that there is only one individual like the person being addressed.
There's only one you, ya
Reiterating the idea that there is only one of this particular person.
Like a five-leaf clover in the yard
Using metaphors (five-leaf clover, diamond, shooting star, old guitar) to emphasize the person's rarity and value.
Like a diamond that's never been found
-High and bright as a shooting star
-Old guitar with the perfect sound
-Something like that comes along you better hold on tight
Reemphasizing the need to appreciate and secure rare and special moments.
So I am, that's right
Confirming the commitment to holding on tightly to the special connection or moment.
'Cause I've seen a thousand sunsets
Repeating the comparison of beautiful experiences and highlighting the exceptional qualities of the person.
And damn they were beautiful
-Heard a hundred pretty songs on the radio
-Can't count the times I've been awestruck, taken back
-None of that baby even comes close to
-The danger in your blue eyes
-The truth in your three words
-That makes this man come unloose
-There's only one you
Affirming that there is only one individual like the person being addressed.
There's only one you, ya
Reiterating the idea that there is only one of this particular person.
'Cause I've seen a thousand sunsets
Continuing to compare beautiful experiences and underlining the irreplaceable qualities of the person.
And damn they were beautiful
-Heard a hundred pretty songs on the radio
-Can't count the times I've been awestruck, taken back
-None of that baby even comes close to
-The danger in your blue eyes
-The truth in your three words
-That makes this man come loose
-There's only one you
Affirming that there is only one individual like the person being addressed.
There's only one you, ya
Reiterating the idea that there is only one of this particular person.
There you are, there you go
Closing the lyrics by revisiting the presence of the person and their unique actions.
Tossing that hair back like only you did
