The One

Little Jake is walking down the street
He’s bouncing lightly on his feet
He’s got the sun upon his face
Not a care in the world
Pretty Cathleen sees him walking there
She has those ribbons in her hair
She bites her lip and bats her eyes
Never stops to wonder why

Can you see me – yes I can
Can you hear me – I understand

Pretty Cathleen steps up next to him
She always liked that crooked grin
She slips her hand inside of his
There’s a sparkle in her eye
Little Jakie’s world has slipped from him
He feels the warm touch of her skin
Suddenly the air has gone away
All alone in a big, blue sky

Can you see me – yes I can
Can you hear me – I understand

This is the time, this is the place
She’s got that look upon her face
She’s everything you can’t ignore
This is the one you’ve waited for

Little Jake is walking down the street
He’s bouncing lightly on his feet
The sun is shining on his face
All is right with the world
Pretty Cathleen’s walking with him there
She’s got that ribbon in her hair
She turns so they are nose to nose
Rises up on the tip of her toes

Can you see me – yes I can
Can you hear me – I understand

This is the time, this is the place
She’s got that look upon her face
She’s everything you can’t ignore
This is the one you’ve waited for
