We used to chase that boy home from school |
| [00:19.41] |
We called him freckle faced red headed fool |
| [00:22.68] |
He was different, he wasn't cool like me |
| [00:29.11] |
Sticks and stones didn't break any bones |
| [00:32.57] |
But we never left well enough alone |
| [00:35.72] |
One day he ran away from home you see |
| [00:41.79] |
And I passed him as he walked away |
| [00:48.87] |
And in his eyes I heard him say |
| [00:52.98] |
|
| [00:54.18] |
One of these days you're gonna love me |
| [01:00.53] |
You'll sit down by yourself and think |
| [01:07.38] |
Of all the times you pushed and shoved me |
| [01:13.88] |
And what good friends we might have been |
| [01:17.72] |
And then you're gonna sigh a little |
| [01:20.98] |
And maybe even cry a little |
| [01:24.37] |
But one of these days you're gonna love me |
| [01:33.11] |
|
| [01:40.57] |
Patty Sue was a small town beauty |
| [01:43.61] |
I took one look at her and had to pull her to me |
| [01:46.93] |
Lord knows she should have seen right through me |
| [01:49.90] |
When I promised her the world |
| [01:53.57] |
But at 17 you only want one thing |
| [01:56.77] |
I left her standing with my high school ring |
| [02:00.07] |
Innocent tears in a pourin' rain |
| [02:03.42] |
As I walked away |
| [02:06.82] |
And I still see her in my dreams |
| [02:13.78] |
And to this day she's whispering |
| [02:18.38] |
|
| [02:18.90] |
One of these days you're gonna love me |
| [02:25.21] |
You'll sit down by yourself and think |
| [02:32.13] |
About the time you turned from me |
| [02:38.59] |
And what good friends we might have been |
| [02:42.18] |
And then you're gonna sigh a little |
| [02:45.41] |
And maybe even cry a little |
| [02:48.92] |
But one of these days, you're gonna love me |
| [02:58.54] |
|
| [03:04.64] |
Now everybody stands up |
| [03:07.73] |
The congregation sings |
| [03:11.01] |
It's a song of sweet forgiveness |
| [03:14.27] |
And as the chorus rings |
| [03:17.67] |
The wind blows clear my memory |
| [03:20.89] |
The pages start to turn |
| [03:24.14] |
And suddenly I'm singing |
| [03:27.47] |
The moment that I learn |
| [03:31.26] |
|
| [03:33.37] |
One of these days I'm gonna love me |
| [03:39.37] |
And feel the joy of sweet release |
| [03:46.51] |
One of these days I'll rise above me |
| [03:52.78] |
And at last I'll find some peace |
| [03:56.84] |
And then I'm gonna smile a little |
| [04:00.08] |
And maybe even laugh a little |
| [04:04.94] |
But one of these days... |
| [04:07.36] |
I'm gonna love me |
