♫ CAN I BE THE ONE?

There was a time
When you were on someone else’s mind
And you never knew, you never knew about me
With colours blending into one
I sat beneath the setting sun
And never knew my fate then
I was the one beside the one, beside the one who was alone
Beside the one with no one
And when I played Mr. Supercool
Who’d broken every single rule
To you, I’ve been a fool for you

Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
I’m only asking
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
That I can be the One
Can I be, can I be the One?

November 1993 you came across The Irish Sea
While I searched for destiny
One Sunday night you stood right there
Your green eyes your long black hair
I didn’t speak your language then.
You were the one beside the one, beside the sister of the one
Beside the one I want to be with
I never thought that way back then
That I could leave my home and friends
And travel to a different land
To ask you questions like…

Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
I’m only asking
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
That I can be the One
Can I be, can I be the One?
Can I be the One?
Yeah yeah
Can I be the One?
Yeah yeah
Can I be the One?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

And now I sit in a 2 by 1
You’re standing by the telephone
Saying things about our future
What lies ahead I’m still not sure
But now I feel we’re getting there
Now I know I just can’t give in
You are the one beside the one, beside the one I need
Beside the one, the one I want to be with
I’ve looked into the past and cried
I’ve tried some other people’s eyes
And now I know I believe in you
Do you believe it too? I’m asking…

Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
I’m only asking
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
That I can be the One
Yeah Can I be? Can I be the One?
Can I be the One?
Can I be the One?
Can I be the One?
Can I be the One?
