Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From rags to riches, here I stand
Shaped and molded by your loving hand
With faith and trust unshaken
You led me all the way
Through years of joy and tears
I'm standing here to say
[Chorus]
You're that one love in my lifetime
And if I search this whole wide world
I know I'll never find a love that's stronger
Than an oak tree
That will be standing in the sun
When my life is done, yeah
[Verse 2]
A carefree girl
I couldn't see
All the future plans, darlin'
You made for me
You placed the whole world
At my feet
And lit a flame of passion
That burns eternally
[Chorus]
One love in my lifetime
And if I search this whole wide world
I know I'll never find a love that's stronger
Than an oak tree
That will be standing in the sun
When my life is done, yeah
[Bridge]
Love may come
And love may go
But you're the man that made me
And no one else can change me
You're my Adam, and I'm your Eve
And if I live a hundred years
I know there'll only be
One love (One love)
In my lifetime (In my lifetime)
Only one love (Ooh)
Burning in this heart of mine (Burning in this heart of mine)
[Chorus]
Ooh, you're the one love
In my lifetime
And if I live a hundred years
I know I'll never find
A love that's stronger
Than an oak tree
That will be standing in the sun
When my life is done
[Outro]
One love (One love)
In my lifetime (In my lifetime)
Ooh, only one love (Only one love)
Burning in this heart of mine (Burning in this heart of mine)
[Instrumental]
One love (Only one love)
Burning in this heart of mine (Burning in this heart of mine)
