Story Behind The Song
First love and unrequited love can leave a deep feeling of hopelessness, as can a failed marriage. I've been through ALL of these painful scenarios, yet I cling fervently to the dream that a perfect one exists for me and that I can & will find it.
Song Description
It may take a lifetime, or many spins around the wheel, but when it comes, revealing itself slowly but surely, the perfect one shines like Simple Minds' "Glittering Prize" lighting up our whole life with an intensity that burns forever!

Lyrics
IT STARTED OUT AS A MELODY
LOOKING FOR A CHORUS LINE
IT'S GROWING INTO A SYMPHONY
ONE BAR AT A TIME
LINE BY LINE AND
VERSE BY VERSE
THE HARMONY IS COMIN' THROUGH
I HEAR THE CHORUS CALLING ME
ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
YOU ARE THE ONE
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR
MY WHOLE LIFE LONG
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE PERFECT ONE
WHO WILL LOVE ME FOREVER
YOU ARE THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR
INSIDE THIS SONG
YES I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE PERFECT ONE
THE WAY YOU LOOK AND
THE WAY YOU SMILE
HAS CAPTIVATED MY HEART
I'D BEEN LOOKING
FOR SO LONG NOW
I'D FORGOTTEN WHERE TO START
THE CHORD YOU STRUCK
DEEP INSIDE OF ME
I CAN HEAR IT CHIMING STILL
FILLING UP EVERY PART OF ME
I KNOW IT ALWAYS WILL
YOU ARE THE ONE
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR
MY WHOLE LIFE LONG
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE PERFECT ONE
WHO WILL LOVE ME FOREVER
YOU ARE THE ONE
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR
INSIDE THIS SONG
YES I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE PERFECT ONE
