The Only One 1905 'Alice and the Eight Princesses'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Sep 2004

Strange indeed, 'tis never guessed
that a heart beats in your breast,
till you find, unto your cost,
that it is completely lost.
But ere long you find it,
then quickly lose it o'er again.
Till you meet The Only One,
then with the rest you've done.

Girls with bright eyes of blue,
gray, brown or hazel hue,
glances may cast at you,
still you'll to one be true.
Though they be beauties rare,
fairest of all the fair;
vainly their webs are spun,
you've found The Only One!

Girls with bright eyes of blue,
gray, brown or hazel hue,
glances may cast at you,
still you'll to one be true.
Though they be beauties rare,
fairest of all the fair;
vainly their webs are spun,
you've found The Only One!

That your heart's no more your own,
is by certain symptoms shown,
deep and frequent are your sighs,
Blank and vacant are your eyes.
Matters not the time and place,
e'er before you is her face.
You have met The Only One,
thoughts of the rest you've done.

Girls with bright eyes of blue,
gray, brown or hazel hue,
glances may cast at you,
still you'll to one be true.
Though they be beauties rare,
fairest of all the fair;
vainly their webs are spun,
you've found The Only One!

Girls with bright eyes of blue,
gray, brown or hazel hue,
glances may cast at you,
still you'll to one be true.
Though they be beauties rare,
fairest of all the fair;
vainly their webs are spun,
you've found The Only One!
