Look at me 'cause I might be, The very last one that you'll ever see. Someday you may wake up and find, I'm one of a kind. Now, don't look back once you're free, There'll be nothing left to see. And I'll be just a memory, But keep this in mind. I'm one of a kind I wish you love as true as mine, May you find happiness this time. If old memories ever cloud your mind, I wish you sunshine. So, I'll drink this toast to you, Go and find who means the most to you. But some night when she's lying close to you, I'll ease through your mind. I'm one of a kind. I'll ease through your mind. I'm one of a kind.
