One Way
Stuart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This sure has been one long lonely night
Holding all these memories, hanging on so tight
Writing you this song and I've got to get it right
That's the way I'll remember you
The way your smile shone right through your eyes
The way you taught me how much music really buys
The way your love would sometimes take me by surprise
That's the way I'll remember you
When we'd sing together on a long ride
And both our mouths and hearts would open wide
I was the driver, you were my guide
I thought that you would always be by my side
How we'd sing together all afternoon
Then stay up all night howlin' at the moon
I never thought that you'd be gone so soon
You know, it makes me crazy as a loon
Each time I hear a rock 'n roll band
Every time I think about what it means to be a man
With a guitar in my arm and a glass in my hand
That's the way I'll remember you




Oh, that's the way I'll remember you
Oh, that's the way I'll remember you
