The One Who Loves You the Most
Brett Dennen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the wind is raging from the coast
And you want someone who truly loves you
I will be the one who loves you the most, yes
When the masquerades in Burlesque Falls
Become too ordinary to boast
And you complain about the parade and curtain calls
I will be the one who loves you the most
When the women with their stolen graces
Don't invite you to play host
To their daughters with fake faces
I will be the one who loves you the most, alright, yes
When all the debutantes desert you
And all the doorways are all closed, yeah
And all the hurricanes have hurt you
I will be the one who loves you the most, alright
I will be the one who loves you the most
When your ludo sneering swang beside you
And leave you hollow like a ghost
The you just want somebody to confide to
I will be the one who loves you the most, yes
I will be the one who loves you the most, yeah
See when you forgive your imperfections
And you've auctioned all your clothes
And you look to see your true reflection
You will be the one who loves you the most
You will be the one who loves you the most, yeah
You will be the one who loves you the most
Yes, alright
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Alright, yeah
Yeah, loves you the most, yes
Loves you the most
