You're the One That I Want
Tony Evans And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday you came my way,
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,




To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're all I want for Christmas
You are the only thing I desire during the Christmas season


All I want my whole life through
You are the only thing I desire throughout my entire life


Each day is just like Christmas
Being with you makes every day feel like a joyful and special occasion


Anytime that I'm with you
Whenever I am in your presence, I feel complete and content


And if all my dreams come true
If everything I hope for and desire comes to fruition


Then I'll awake on Christmas morning
If my dreams come true, Christmas morning will be a particularly joyful occasion


And find my stockings filled with you
I will feel complete and fulfilled by your presence alone, as if you are the only gift I need
