James Taylor - Only One Lyrics






Oh, you are my only one
You are my only one
Well, I'm telling you now
Now you're my only one

I've got two long legs like to carry me
Two sharp eyes to look for the light
I got two strong arms to hold on tight
Two good friends on my left and right
But only one, only one

And you are my only one
You are my only one
Don't be leaving me now
Now you're my only one

Now there's only one road before me
Too many turns in the way
Thousands of things to do today
Millions of moments I must admit
But only one, only one

And you are my only one
You are my only one
Well, I'm telling you now
Now you're my only one

Taken for granted and pushed aside
All that it wanted was a place to run and hide
Missing message in a hollow tree
Hidden deep inside a memory

And the memory seems like dreams
Hundreds of hopes in the past
Nevertheless it was never the last
Hold on strong or you fade out fast
And only one, only one

Oh, you are my only one
You are my only one
Don't be leaving me now
Believe in me now
Believe in me now
Well, I'm telling you know
You're my only one

Yeah, you are my only one
You are my only one
Don't be leaving me now
Now you're my only one

Yeah, you are my only one
You are my only one
Well, I'm telling you now
Now you're my only one

Yeah, you are my only one
You are my only one
Don't be leaving me now
Believe in me now

Oh, you are my only one
You are my only one
Well, I'm telling you now
You're my only one

Oh, you are my only one
You are my only one
Don't be leaving me now
Believe in me now

  1. M.... f....

    I listened to to this since it came out and only just now realized Joni Mitchell and Don Henley were singing backup. Just lovely.

  2. b.... ....

    Sounds like a praise and worship song.

  3. O.... G....

  8. V.... M....

    Surprised this doesn't have much views

  9. A.... F....

    Dieses Video treibt mir wieder das Waaer in die Augen, Freudentränen.
    Wie gut, dass es sooo schöne Musik gibt.
    Vielen Dank, James, Joni, Don und ihr anderen Musiker.
    Ihr seid mehr als nur großartig!

  10. c.... s....

    I’m a James fanatic so idk how I missed this song. I still wouldn’t know this song if it wasn’t for chance the rapper 😂😂😅

    c.... s....

    Lido made the beat

  11. O.... E....

    Thank you chance for sampling this !!!

  12. D.... L....

    Chance sent me here.

  13. T.... J....

    This is what Chance the Rapper sampled in his "Get A Bag" track on his new album

    T.... J....

    that sample was spot on probably my fave song!

    T.... J....

    Nakx95 The beat is FUDGING AMAZING but the lyrics are trash

  14. L.... D....

    Music and harmony at it's best jt sh and jm... now if only my lovely fiancee would see that she is my only one. Thanks for gratefully loading

    L.... D....

    Oops Dh for don henley

  15. J.... F....

  18. A.... R....

    Only one indeed. The harmonies from Joni and Don sublime. The ubiquitous Leland Sklar brings timing and style that few possess.

    A.... R....

    Its Leland Sklar in this video, but according to wikipedia, Tony Levin plays bass on this song

  19. D.... P....

    James Taylor's lamentation to erectile dysfunction.

    D.... P....

    Really?

  20. A.... G....

    James Joni And Don what wonderful sound

  21. J.... H....

    JT has only the best backup singers

  22. D.... M....

    Great song!

  23. D.... H....

    Jeez, Joni with the cigarette!

  24. l.... ....

    Listen for both Don Henley & Joni Mitchell on this great JT tune, which hit #6 on the Adult Contemporary chart in 1986.

  25. A.... Q....

    What a classic song of James Taylor in 1985.

    A.... Q....

    You know, it really burns me up that this track was not included on his greatest hits volume 2 album, which was released around late 2000/early 2001.

  26. D.... D....

    I fell in love with this song years ago when I was in college ....

  27. L.... D....

    Yet she still doesn't here me

  28. R.... G....

    Linda canción gracias por subirla.

  29. T.... S....

    Is that Don Henley as one of the backup singers?

    T.... S....

    think so, and every now and then I think that woman in red, is Joni...and I think I see Rosemary Butler, too.

    T.... S....

    Don Henley and Joni Mitchel on backup vocals

  30. m.... ....

    J.... G....

    I don't speak your language yet understood every word you said.

  32. J.... F....

    The Back up singers Joni Mitchell and Don henley did a wonderful job bringing out the harmony in this song

    J.... F....

    LOL....they are the BACK UP singers!!! Yet the talk is of some rapper that ripped this ? Makes me laugh....but in a sad way.. It's obvious that good original music is as dead as Rain-forests and Australia's koalas :(

  33. r.... ....

    This video is a treasure. Please don't ever take it down again.

    r.... ....

    Why was it down before?!

    r.... ....

    ricardovmonteiro never.

    r.... ....

    I don't know for sure, but probably due to copyright / licensing issues.
