The One

About The One

"The One" is the first single from Elton John's 1992 album of the same name. It reached number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100, number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and number 10 on the UK Singles Chart. In Canada, it reached number one on the RPM 100 chart for two weeks and the RPM Adult Contemporary chart for five weeks. In Europe, "The One" peaked within the top ten in Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland and Switzerland, while in Australia, it reached number 15. On bonus footage on his Live in Barcelona DVD, John states that he felt an intense connection to Taupin's lyrics for "The One" in light of his personal circumstances around the time of making the album, in particular the line "For each man in his time is Cain until he walks along the beach." John performed the song at the 1992 VMAs, and it was nominated for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 1993 Grammy Awards. The music video was directed by Russell Mulcahy. more »

I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one

There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel, oh

For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Oh, baby you're the one

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
Oh, you're all I've ever needed
Oh, baby you're the one

All I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
Oh, you're all I've ever needed
Oh, baby you're the one
