Dedicated to the One I Love
Aaron Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

While I'm far away from you my baby
I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love
(love can never be exactly like we want it to be)

I could be satisfied knowing you love me
(And there's one thing I want you to do especially for me)
And it's something that everybody needs

While I'm far away from you my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

If there's one thing I want you to do
Especially for me
Then it's something that everybody needs

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love
This is dedicated to the one I love




This is dedicated to the one I love
This is dedicated to the one I love

Thankyou Aaron. You are not the only one.

Respect from a Canadian Forces veteran. I served with my US brothers and sisters in uniform. And I am honoured to have been by their side. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. Against enemies foreign and domestic.

We ordinary working people are under attack. Maybe our elites, on both sides of the longest undefended border on our planet, are involved in this. Kinda looks that way... (above my paygrade)

Stay safe, stay prepped, and look after family and neighbours you trust. If someone in a suit comes by from Washington or Ottawa, and say they are here to help you, well, tell them to pound sand (politely). And then clean your firearms on the front porch while they watch.

I think we are starting to make the global elites nervous. Keep strong. Stay free.

We have the "illusion" of freedom
Can you drive a car without insurance "legally"?
Can you fish in waters without a license?
Can you hunt without a license?
Can you grow coca plants and give to your neighbor
Can you ingest psychedelic mushrooms without risk of being thrown in a cage?
Can you earn thousands of dollars selling products online without being forced to give a portion of that to govt?
We are not free, and never have been. Wake up kiddo

Lovely to see another awake londoner here. Sincerely ,an awake 20 year old young Londoner surrounded by people who believe in brainwashed agendas and impose their bullshit.

There's no future for an~u^gly~loser like Lauren Alaina. She is still trying to get into music industry.
She already tried for the last 10 years not working.

@prestonfranco9594

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I actually like Aaron's songs. I heard them before!
Kane Brown? He sounds f horrible. KANE BROWN IS A COUNTRY MUSIC DESTROYER. HE MUST BE DESTROYED FOR PEACE IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC PLATFORM!
Kane always bores me to tears with his mediocrity and he knows he can't make money singing or making music. I wouldn't go to his concert even if somebody pays me, and I wouldn't spend a dime on his trash albums. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The explicit version is more impactful. You can hear it on his channel. Thank you Aaron, you speak for millions and millions of Americans.

@NJP76

I am not really one taken to the use of profanity, but you are absolutely right. The uncensored version of this song really does feel more sincere and hard-hitting. My Chaplin even likes the uncensored version better...and that is saying something!

@mrpolsco6872

100% it expresses the emotion far better.

@calebgallo1746

👩‍🦱👩‍🦱👩‍🦱👩‍🦱👩‍🦱 Kane Brown is a disgrace to country music. 👩‍🦱👩‍🦱👩‍🦱
About 2 years ago, I went to his concert. He sucked ass and left 2 hours early...only played for 30 minutes....everyone was pissed, not to mention he wasn't even a country singer who made crappy albums. Kane Brown should be permanently banned from CMA. People are tired of seeing his name in country music char!
