There's a hundred bluebirds
Up above the clouds
Putting all the color in the sky
And twice as many tear drops
there to wash it down 
Every one's another lullaby 

But there's only one and only 
Who could go and leave me lonely 

There's a world of trouble
Trying to take its turn 
I can hear it shaking underground 
And half a dozen lessons
I might never learn 
Not until them troubles come around 

But there's only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely 

There's a mile of blacktop
Where the road begins
It takes a time or two to recognize 
Growing at the roadside
Scattered by the wind 
Are everybody's unsaid sad goodbyes 

But there's only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely

You're the only one and only 
Why'd you go and leave me lonely
