No One Else in the World
I wrote myself the sweetest song I believe I ever heard
And I loved it like a preacher in the pulpit loves the Word
I loved it like a daddy loves his chubby little girl
It ain’t for no one else in the world
I painted myself the finest scene I believe I ever saw
And I put it up behind a piece of glass and hung it on my wall
It’s the last thing that you see before the bedroom in the hall
So that each night I could dream of all the beauty that I saw
It ain’t for no one else in the world
And all I want in this world is to be your only song
To be the picture in the portait that is hanging on your wall
To be the hero of your dreams as you are sleeping all night long
To be the only one in the world
And all I need in this life is to share this joy I have
But I’m riding on so before I leave won’t you step into my cab
It’s crowded with my things, you’ll have to sit up on my lap
But I’ll show you over time that I would never treat you bad
I don’t need anyone else in the world
It’s the simple life of the songs and of the paintings I have seen
That’s the only life that I would ever choose for you and me
We can have it if we both believe
And all I need in this life is to share this joy I have
But I’m riding on so before I leave won’t you step into my cab
It’s crowded with my things, you’ll have to sit up on my lap
But I’ll show you over time that I would never treat you bad
I don’t need anyone else in the world
