So many times
These few dreams of mine
Seem hidden behind
A mountain too high to climb
But you were the one
Who said, 'go on, follow your star'

When the song in my heart
Was just a voice in the dark
You could hear my mellow key

There's only one moon
That shines in the night
And only one love in my life

[Chorus]
Only one love in my life,
Only one love in my life
I'm a ship on the open ocean darling
You're my guiding light

The radio played
My new song today
And I heard someone say
'Man, he sure got it made'

If only they knew how much you
Have made of me
Together we came
From nowhere to fame
And I never could have made it
Alone

For me there's only one moon
That shines in the night
And only one love in my life

[Chorus: x2]

You're my guiding light
And you're the only love in my life
