One Time
Jr. James & The Late Guitar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She has the space she needs to fly
When she's with me
She has a place to just talk as the hours tick by
What she has with me
Is a backup when she's scared to try
What she has with me
Won't ever come to an end even if it came down to goodbye
Everything felt right
So right some tears were cried
As two hearts came open wide
I could not wait to hold
In my arms so tight
It felt so right
And that feeling still hasn't died
I don't know how long this love is gonna last us
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time
One Day At A Time

Thats why weekend sound like MJ

When he plays Lady in My Life and strums the octaves with his thumb, all I can think of how amazing it is that Wes Montgomery’s influence found it’s way onto Thriller.
Andre Thompson
Yes, West one of the best to pick up the acoustic guitar
CityCity
Yes! That sound will never die.

Say it again. The Great Wes Montgomery.🙌🏿
Paul Mamuth
The same feeling I felt right away. What a beautiful melody line.
mondingo67
Absolutely
Steven Ponte
When he plays along with the track it is like heaven! His feel, groove, timing and warmth are ridiculous.
Michael Gregory
Excellent presentation, Mason! I saw Paul play live in Sacramento with members of Earth Wind and Fire and George Duke's band in 1983 and I met Paul that night. He was so gracious and gave me his contact info. I wrote him a letter and instead of writing back, he called me. To a 22 year-old trying-to-be studio player, it was so encouraging! And as demonstrated in this video, still so consistent with the humanity that his faith has instilled in him.
