This One (early take) Songtext
von Paul McCartney

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

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


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 time, it 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 me in your arm
Look me in the eye, 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
This one 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
This one is gliding, oh
A God is riding, oh
How calm the water
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
