only one and only

there's a hundred bluebirds

up above the clouds

putting all the color in the sky

twice as many tear drops

there to wash it down

everyone's another lullaby

but there's only one and only

who could go and leave me lonely

there's a world of trouble

trying to take it's turn

i can hear it shaking the underground

half a dozen lessons

i might never learn

not until them troubles come around

but there's only one and only

who could go and leave me lonely

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

but there's only one and only

who could go and leave me lonely

you're the only one and only

why'd you go and leave me lonely?
