Dare you to let me be your one and only

via Youtube

We've all been a bit obsessed with Rolling in the Deep, Turning Tables, Someone Like You and Rumour Has It...but Adele's 21 is full of gorgeous, gorgeous songs that I am dying to sing.  One and Only is my current favourite, and pretty much empitomises my general ethos when it comes to music: "all I want in music is heartbreaking romance".  I'm already writing my next cabaret show in my head, just so I can perform this.  Incredible live version above.

You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day,
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face
God only knows
Why it's taken me so long
To let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want

I don't know why I'm scared, I've been here before
Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all,
You never know if you never try
To forgive your past and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts
I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time at the mention of my name
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close?
And have you tell me whichever road I choose you'll go

I don't know why I'm scared 'cause I've been here before
Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try
To forgive your past and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts

I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
