Only One And Only

Gillian Welch

VERSE 1:
There's a hundred bluebirds, up above the clouds
Putting all the color in the sky
And twice as many tear drops, there to wash it down
Every one's another lullaby

CHORUS:
But there's only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely

VERSE 2:
There's a world of trouble, trying to take its turn
I can hear it shaking underground
And half a dozen lessons, I might never learn
Not until them troubles come around

CHORUS:...

VERSE 3:
There's a mile of blacktop, where the road begins
It takes a time or two to recognize
Growing at the roadside, scattered by the wind
Are everybody's unsaid sad goodbyes

CHORUS:...

You're the only one and only
Why'd you go and leave me lonely
