YOU’RE THE ONE 
(Rhiannon Giddens/Lalenja Harrington)

I knew you were the one 
Were my one and only 
And I knew 
That you would always know me 
Cause you were the one 
Who kept me from feeling 
So sad and lonely in my life and

I never knew 
Life could be so wonderful 
That there could be someone  
Who was so beautiful 
And I never knew 
That I could be so free 
To love someone like you and  

I wanna love you forever 
And I’ll be with you  
For worse and for better 
And I never thought I’d fall 
But you’re the one 

I thought my life was drawn 
In shades of gray and 
That was how 
I would live my everyday and 
Aimless no direction found 
My destiny was going through the motions of a life and

Then you came along 
With your sweet sweet smile and 
Then you put your cheek  
Right next to mine and 
All those shades of gray slowly turned into a 
New technicolor world and 

I’m gonna love you forever 
And I’ll be with you 
For worse and for better 
And I never thought I’d fall 

And I’m gonna love you forever and 
I’ll be with you for worse and for better 
And I never thought I’d fall 
But you’re the one 

You’re the one 
Your smile contains the sun
Rays of glory 
You’re the one
