1. Jack Jones (born Jan. 14, 1938, in Hollywood, Calif.) is a traditional pop singer, perhaps best known for his songs "I've Got Your Number" and "Wives and Lovers". The only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey, he released his first album in 1959 on Capitol Records, but he didn't find success until he moved to Kapp Records in the early 60s. During that decade, he was rated highly by contemporaries such as Frank Sinatra. Judy Garland even reportedly called him the best jazz singer in the world, though Jones was always a straight pop singer (even with contemporary material) and merely ventured in the direction of jazz. He has won two Grammy Awards.
Having toured for decades since his 60s heyday, Jones still performs concerts around the world and remains popular on the casino circuit. Many of his tunes are included in various mutli-artist compliation albums. Some of his best-known songs are "The Impossible Dream," " "Wives And Lovers" (1964 Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance)," "The Race Is On," "Lollipops and Roses" (1962, Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance), "Lady," and "The Love Boat Theme".

The One I Love
Jack Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all my daydreams have gone astray
I think about the one and only
Who's bound to find me some golden day
The one I love is coming along some day
And I'll have none except the one I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away
And though our meeting is left to chance
Until our meeting
I still will have my dream romance
And through the night I pray to the moon above
To please be kind and find the one I love
The lyrics of "The One I Love" by Jack Jones encapsulate the feeling of longing for a significant other, and the hope that one day they will appear in one's life. The opening lines refer to a sense of loneliness, with days feeling long and nights feeling empty. The singer's daydreams have gone astray, indicating a sense of frustration and disappointment.
However, there is a glimmer of hope - the one he loves is coming along someday. The idea of there being only one person for the singer is emphasized with the repetition of the phrase "none except the one I love". The person being referred to in these lyrics could be a romantic partner or a soulmate, someone who completes the singer and makes their life whole.
The lyrics suggest that the meeting between the singer and the one they love is left to chance, but until that meeting happens, the singer will continue to dream of a romance with this person. The final lines of the song ask the moon above to help the singer find the one they love, a poignant image of the singer's yearning and hope.
Overall, "The One I Love" is a beautifully rendered expression of longing and hope, with evocative lyrics that capture the intensity of romantic desire.
Line by Line Meaning
When days are long and nights are lonely
When I feel trapped by the length of everyday and the loneliness of night
And all my daydreams have gone astray
And my hopes and dreams have failed to come true
I think about the one and only
I remember the one person who is truly special to me
Who's bound to find me some golden day
Who will bring me happiness in some future day
The one I love is coming along some day
I am confident that the person I love is on their way to me
And I'll have none except the one I love
I won't settle for anyone else besides the one I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away
They could be close or very far away from me
But I'll have none except the one I love
Regardless of proximity, I will only choose the one I love
And though our meeting is left to chance
Even though our meeting is uncertain and unpredictable
Until our meeting
Until the time that we finally meet
I still will have my dream romance
I will continue to hold onto my idealized vision of a perfect relationship
And through the night I pray to the moon above
At night, I look up and ask the moon for guidance and blessings
To please be kind and find the one I love
I implore the moon to be merciful and guide my true love to me
