This One by Paul McCartney

(This one, this one, this one)
Did I ever
Take you in my arms
Look you in the eye
Tell you that I do
Did I ever
Open up my heart
And let you look inside

If I never did it
I was only waiting
For a better moment
That didn't come
There never could be
A better moment
Than this one, this one
The swan is gliding
Above the ocean
A god is riding
Upon his back
How calm the water
And bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black
Did I ever
Touch you on the cheek
Say that you were mine
Thank you for the smile
Did I ever
Knock upon your door
And try to get inside
If I never did it
I was only waiting
For a better moment
That didn't come
There never could be
A better moment
Than this one, this one
The swan is gliding
Above the ocean
A god is riding
Upon his back
How calm the water
And bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black
What opportunities did we allow to flow by
Feeling like the timing wasn't quite right
What kind of magic might
Have worked if we had stayed calm
Couldn't I have given you a better life

Did you ever
Take you in your arm
Look me in the eye
And tell me that you do
Did I ever
Open up my heart
Let you look inside

If I never did it
I was only waiting
For a better moment
That didn't come
There never could be
A better moment
Than this one, this one
The swan is gliding
Above the ocean
A god is riding
Upon his back
How calm the water
And bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black
The swan is gliding

A god is riding

Calm the water

Bright the rainbow
