The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else
Laura Taylor 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

When days are long and nights are lonely
During times of solitude and isolation
And all my daydreams have gone astray
When all my hopes and dreams are shattered
I think about the one and only
I reminisce about the person I truly love
Who's bound to find me some golden day
Who I hope will come and bring happiness to my life
The one I love is coming along some day
I believe that the person I love will one day arrive
And I'll have none except the one I love
I don't want anyone else but the person I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away
The person I love could be close or distant
But I'll have none except the one I love
Regardless of distance, I only want the person I love
And though our meeting is left to chance
While the possibility of meeting is uncertain
Until our meeting
Until we finally meet
I still will have my dream romance
I will continue to dream about a romantic future with my loved one
And through the night I pray to the moon above
At night, I ask the moon for guidance and assistance
To please be kind and find the one I love
To help me find the person I love and who loves me back
