E   Esus4   E   Esus4   E


E          Esus4                      E - Esus4 - E
I spent my hungry young years running wild.
E            Esus4           B7
There was so much for me to do.
E           Esus4                    E
And I spent cities like a handful of change,
                 B7          E - Esus4 - E
But I never quit looking for you.


E            Esus4
One time and one time only,
E           Esus4
Been such a long time lonely.
E            Esus4            B7
One time for all time it will be.
E            Esus4
Been waiting such a long time,
E             Esus4
Each time has been the wrong time,
E         B7      E - Esus4 - E
Until you came to me.

I looked for you in every face I saw,
And could not find you anywhere.
Then finally one day I quit trying at all,
And looked up to see you standing there.

One time and one time only,
Been such a long time lonely.
One time for all time it will be.
Been waiting such a long time,
Each time has been the wrong time,
Until you came to me.

I don't mind telling you what's on my mind,
It's no big secret anymore:
I've got no plans at all for moving on,
That's the one thing I was never looking for.

One time and one time only,
Been such a long time lonely.
One time and all time it will be.
Been waiting such a long time,
Each time has been the wrong time,
Until you came to me.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1965)
