It is now the 12th, Down Under.
As today is a bit of a special memorial day for me, and as Stewie has previously posted some Mike McClellan, I am unashamedly posting my favourite!


THE ONE I LOVE

- Mike McClellan -

I don't care for dancing and I'm not much at talk
At least it’s never been that way
I know it's not easy to understand my ways
When there's so much that I oughta say

When I'm standing right before you, I feel like the fool
Blinded by the light in his eyes
No, and love’s light steals the dark night in his soul

    And the one I love she shines like silver
    The one I love she glows like moonlight
    The one I love is warm like sunshine
    The one I love

    Yes, the one I love she shines like silver
    The one I love she glows like moonlight
    The one I love is warm like sunshine
    The one I love

I don't care for parties and I like the quiet life
And I've never felt at ease within a crowd
I've never found it easy to live the way I do
Sometimes the song’s the only time I think out loud

When I'm standing right before you, I feel like the fool
Who never finds the right words to say
No, and his chance goes with the last dance of the night

And the one I love she shines like silver
The one I love she glows like moonlight
The one I love is warm like sunshine
The one I love

Yes the one I love she shines like silver
The one I love she glows like moonlight
The one I love is warm like sunshine
The One I Love
