For You Only

About For You Only

"For You Only" is a song by British singer-songwriter Alison Moyet, released in 1985 as the fourth and final single from her debut studio album Alf. For its release as a single, a remixed version of the song was created, which was named the "New Version". The song written by Moyet, Steve Jolley and Tony Swain, and produced by Jolley and Swain. Originally, when CBS suggested releasing a fourth single from Alf, Moyet spoke against the idea and suggested she record a cover of "That Ole Devil Called Love" in order to give fans something new. Her version of the song was released in March 1985, becoming a big hit, including in the UK where it reached No. 2. After this, CBS later decided to release "For You Only" as a single in Europe and America. For its release as a single, "For You Only" was remixed and partially re-recorded to create a new version. The song was a success in Germany, peaking at No. 7 in late 1985. The song was also an airplay hit in New Zealand. A music video was created to promote the single, featuring shots of Moyet sitting at an empty bar and walking the street outside. Moyet also performed the song for Dutch TV at the Platengala Nationaal and on the German Peter's Pop Show. more »

Ready to embrace the day as we both break.
When the light stole in it found me wide awake.
Wasted from a sleepless night, I reach to touch your hair.

Withdraw an empty hand, for you're no longer there.
In between the silence, leaving is an empty space.
Save the ticking of a clock
Whose hands are sweeping past its face.

And I just don't want to be lonely,
Night and day.

But as I look around me, I just feel that way for you only.
I turn my hand to something that would clear my head,
But I could not forget the parting words we shared.
I opened up my mind to all the pictures I could trace.

But I could not recall the contours of your face,
And, oh,
He slipped away before I had the chance to say,
"If I did something wrong, please tell me;
I'll accept the blame."

And I just don't want to be lonely,
Night and day.

For you only.
And I just don't want to be lonely,
Night and day.

For you only.

In between the silence, leaving is an empty space.
Save the ticking of a clock
Whose hands are sweeping past its face.
And I just don't want to be lonely,
Night and day.

For you only.
And I just don't want to be lonely,
Night and day.

For you only.
